- Description
- The Web Open Font Format 2.0 (WOFF2) file is a modern font format designed specifically for use on the web. It is an evolution of the WOFF format, offering improved compression and thus smaller file sizes, which enhances web performance by reducing the time it takes for fonts to load. WOFF2 supports the same customization and features as its predecessor, but with more efficient encoding and compression mechanisms.
- Standard font format used by Mac OS X; font contents are stored in the data fork part of the file instead of the resource fork (which was used by fonts in Mac OS Classic).
