TTF — Stylistic Sets ss01-ss03 with Feature Names

Three stylistic sets, each with a human-readable name published through FeatureParams in the name table — the metadata a font menu needs to show 'Squared G and R' instead of 'ss01'. For testing feature-name discovery as much as the substitution itself. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Subset with Layout Features Dropped

The same probe-character subset with every OpenType feature stripped — what many web-font pipelines produce by default. GSUB and GPOS survive as empty shells, so a tool that merely checks whether the tables exist reports the font as fully featured while nothing ligates, kerns, or turns into small caps. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Subset with Layout Features Kept

A subset cut to just the characters the kerning, ligature, small-cap and figure probes need, keeping every OpenType layout feature whose glyphs survived. Half of a pair whose only difference is the layout tables — the pair that shows what a default subsetter setting silently costs you. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Subset: Digits

The 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.

TTF — TrueType (Quadratic) Outlines

One design in TrueType outlines: quadratic contours in a glyf table with a loca index. Its CFF twin carries the same design in cubic charstrings, so converting one and diffing against the other tests an outline converter rather than a whole font pipeline. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — unitsPerEm 1000 (decimal grid)

The same design on a 1000-unit em square — the decimal grid PostScript and most web fonts use. Diff it against its twin at the other unitsPerEm to catch code that hardcodes 1000 or 2048 instead of reading head.unitsPerEm, and to see where rounding shows up. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — unitsPerEm 128 (coarse em grid)

The same design squeezed onto a 128-unit em, the coarse end of what the specification allows. Coordinates quantise hard, so this is the fixture for testing scaling maths, rounding, and any code that assumes a font has enough resolution to hint. Original typeface, free to use.

The same design on a 2048-unit em square — the power-of-two grid classic TrueType fonts use. Diff it against its twin at the other unitsPerEm to catch code that hardcodes 1000 or 2048 instead of reading head.unitsPerEm, and to see where rounding shows up. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — usWinAscent/Descent Smaller Than the Glyph Bounding Box

usWinAscent and usWinDescent are deliberately set below the real glyph bounding box, which is the classic cause of clipped accents and cut-off descenders on Windows. The head table still reports the true extents, so a validator can catch the contradiction and a renderer can be measured against it. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Variable Font Missing the STAT Table (intentionally incomplete)

A variable font that is intentionally incomplete: the STAT table OpenType requires of every variable font has been removed, while fvar, gvar and the named instances remain. It still renders, which is exactly the problem — style linking, family grouping and instance naming quietly degrade instead of failing loudly.

TTF — Variable Font with a Custom (Uppercase) Axis Tag

A variable font carrying one registered axis and one custom axis. Custom tags are all-uppercase by specification and must be looked up by name rather than assumed, so this is the fixture for a UI that hardcodes wght/wdth/slnt/opsz and silently drops everything else. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Variable Font with a Non-Linear avar Mapping

The same three masters as the plain wght variable font, plus an avar table that warps the axis so most of the weight change happens in the first third of the slider. Diff it against its no-avar twin: identical outlines, different rendering at every intermediate value. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Variable Font without avar (mapping reference)

The control half of the avar pair: identical masters and identical gvar deltas, with no avar table, so the axis maps linearly. Any rendering difference against its avar twin is the avar table and nothing else. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Variable Font, Four Registered Axes

All four registered axes in one face — weight, width, slant and optical size — from eight axis-extreme masters. The font a variation UI should be tested against before it meets a real four-axis release. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Variable Font, opsz Axis (Optical Size)

A single-axis variable font on the registered opsz axis, built from 3 interpolating masters so the deltas are real — stems thicken and tracking opens at small optical sizes and reverse at display sizes. Named instances and a STAT table are included. Original typeface, free to use.

A single-axis variable font on the registered slnt axis, built from 2 interpolating masters so the deltas are real — the whole face shears forward as slnt goes negative, with the axis maximum equal to the default. Named instances and a STAT table are included. Original typeface, free to use.

TTF — Variable Font, wght Axis 300-900 (real gvar deltas)

A true variable font: three interpolating masters compiled through fontTools varLib, so the wght axis carries real gvar and HVAR deltas rather than an fvar record over static outlines. Five named instances and a STAT table with a Regular-to-Bold linked value. Original typeface, free to use.
