WOFF2

woff2 is Google’s reference implementation of the WOFF2 webfont format, the modern, highly compressed container used by browsers to ship OpenType/TrueType fonts efficiently over the network. It integrates specialized transforms for font tables (like glyf/loca and variations data) with Brotli compression to squeeze out as many bytes as possible while preserving exact font fidelity on decode. The repository includes a compact C/C++ library and small command-line tools so you can convert existing TTF/OTF files to WOFF2 and back for testing or build pipelines. Its encoder applies deterministic, spec-compliant transformations that maximize compressibility without altering rendering results, making it safe for production web delivery. The decoder is just as strict, validating headers and table checksums to guard against malformed inputs. Because WOFF2 is now ubiquitous across browsers and CDNs, this repo often serves as the canonical baseline for tooling.
