WOFF2: Variable Font, wght x wdth
The two-axis variable font as WOFF2: the container a real site would ship. For testing that variation tables survive Brotli packing and that a two-axis slider still works after decompression. Original typeface, free to use.

- Both wght and wdth respond independently and all nine named instances are still enumerable.
What is a .woff2 file?
WOFF2 is the successor to WOFF, using Brotli compression to shrink web fonts substantially further than the original format. It wraps TrueType or OpenType outlines for efficient browser delivery and is the preferred modern web font format. It offers the smallest sizes with broad current-browser support.
How to use this file
Use an example WOFF2 to test Brotli-based font decoding, web-font delivery performance, and @font-face support with fallbacks to WOFF.
How to use this file for testing
“WOFF2: Variable Font, wght x wdth” is a deterministic Testaroo fixture for Conversion testing, Web assets. The same content exported across many formats and linked as a group, so you can convert one and diff against the expected twin.
Documented properties for this file: seed 20260807. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
Font fixtures carry a small documented glyph set across the common wrappers. Test font loaders, subsetting, and @font-face; the specimen preview renders the glyphs the face actually maps.

- otfOTF: CFF (Cubic) OutlinesThe same design in CFF outlines: cubic Type 2 charstrings with no glyf and no loca. The half of the pair that catches code assuming every OpenType font is TrueType-flavoured. Original typeface, free to use.

- otfOTF: Colour Font, COLR Layers over CFF OutlinesCOLR and CPAL over CFF rather than glyf outlines. COLR is outline-agnostic by specification, but plenty of tooling assumes colour fonts are TrueType-flavoured: this is the file that finds out. Original typeface, free to use.

- otfOTF: Web Container Source, CFF (Type 2) OutlinesThe uncompressed CFF (Type 2) source for this container set. Every WOFF and WOFF2 file in the group is packed from exactly these bytes, so a compression comparison is measuring the container and nothing else. Original typeface, free to use.

- ttfTTF, Subset: DigitsThe full face subset to U+0030-U+0039 (digits only): a numeric-display cut, the shape a dashboard font ends up. Layout features are kept, so lookups whose glyphs were removed are the ones you can watch disappear. Original typeface, free to use.

- ttfTTF, Subset: HeadlineThe full face subset to the 8 codepoints of the string NOVUS 07: the extreme case a headline-only web font gets cut down to. Layout features are kept, so lookups whose glyphs were removed are the ones you can watch disappear. Original typeface, free to use.

- ttfTTF, Subset: Latin BasicThe full face subset to U+0020-U+007E (printable ASCII): the range a Latin-only page actually needs. Layout features are kept, so lookups whose glyphs were removed are the ones you can watch disappear. Original typeface, free to use.
