Web Open Font Format

Web Open Font Format (WOFF) is a font format for web pages that provides compressed TrueType or OpenType fonts with metadata. It was developed to enable efficient font delivery over the internet while supporting licensing and copyright information. WOFF2 is an improved version with better compression algorithms for faster loading times.
