Compare Web Open Font Format 2 and TrueType Font formats — understand the key differences and when to use each
Web Open Font Format 2
WOFF2 is the second generation of the Web Open Font Format, using Brotli compression for 30% better compression than WOFF1. WOFF2 is the recommended font format for modern websites, providing the smallest file sizes while maintaining full glyph fidelity. It's supported by all modern browsers.
TrueType Font
TTF (TrueType Font) is a scalable font format developed by Apple and Microsoft in the late 1980s as a competitor to Adobe's PostScript fonts. TTF uses quadratic Bézier curves to define glyph outlines, providing high-quality rendering at any size. TrueType fonts include hinting instructions that optimize rendering on screen at small sizes. TTF is supported by all major operating systems and applications. While OpenType (OTF) has largely succeeded TrueType for professional typography, TTF remains widely used and universally compatible.
