WOFF2 — Colour Font, COLR v0 Layers with CPAL
The COLR v0 colour font as WOFF2 — for testing that a web-font pipeline keeps COLR and CPAL rather than stripping them as unknown tables. Original typeface, free to use.

- Expected result
- COLR and CPAL survive Brotli packing and the icons still render in colour.
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 — Colour Font, COLR v0 Layers with CPAL” is a deterministic Novus Examples 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 — Variable Font with CFF2 (cubic) OutlinesA variable font whose outlines are CFF2 rather than glyf, so the variation deltas live inside blended charstrings and there is no gvar table at all. The case that breaks tools which assume every variable font is TrueType-flavoured. 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 — Contextual Alternates (calt)Contextual alternate substitution that fires on doubled letters: the second letter of aa, ee, oo, nn, ss and tt is replaced by an alternate carrying a visible baseline underscore, so a shaping result can be read straight off the page instead of out of a debug log. calt is on by default, which makes it a good test of whether a renderer applies default features at all. Original typeface, free to use.
- ttfTTF — Every OpenType Feature in This FamilyEvery feature this family defines in one face — ligatures, kerning, contextual alternates, small caps, three stylistic sets, four figure features, fractions, mark attachment, aalt and locl. The single font to point a feature-discovery UI at. Original typeface, free to use.
- ttfTTF — Figure Sets (lnum, onum, tnum, pnum)All four figure features over one digit set: the default is proportional lining, tnum flattens every digit to 620 units for column alignment, pnum restores the proportional widths, and onum drops five digits below the baseline and raises two above the x-height. The measurable case for testing font-variant-numeric. Original typeface, free to use.
