- 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.
- Created by Microsoft Web Embedding Fonts Tool (WEFT), OpenType Font (.otf) is embedded in a web page or PPS (PowerPoint presentation) file documents. This file is not meant to be manually opened and is saved with the related document.
