TTF — Small Capitals (smcp and c2sc)
A full 26-glyph small-capital set reachable through smcp from lowercase and c2sc from capitals. Because the lowercase of this face is unicase, the small caps sit at a third, measurable height: 560 design units against 500 for lowercase and 700 for capitals, so a failed substitution shows up as a height rather than as a subtle shape difference. Original typeface, free to use.

- Design Heights
- lowercase 500, small caps 560, capitals 700
- Measured Glyph Tops
- a 512, a.sc 573, A 715 (stroke terminals overshoot)

- 678 for all three, as a unicase design
- Design Note
- the lowercase is unicase, so small caps are a distinct third height
Testing contract
Expected to pass- Scenario
- Apply font-variant-caps: small-caps and all-small-caps to mixed-case text and measure the glyph heights.
- Expected result
- smcp raises the top of a lowercase a from 512 to 573 units; c2sc lowers a capital A from 715 to 573; with both features off the two cases keep their original heights, and the advance width stays 678 throughout.
What is a .ttf file?
TTF (TrueType Font) is a scalable outline font format developed by Apple and Microsoft that uses quadratic Bezier curves and includes hinting for sharp rendering at small sizes. It stores glyph outlines, metrics, and character mappings in a single file. It is one of the most widely supported desktop and web font formats.
How to use this file
Use an example TTF to test font parsers, glyph and metric extraction, text-rendering pipelines, and converters that produce web font formats like WOFF.
How to use this file for testing
“TTF — Small Capitals (smcp and c2sc)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Conversion testing, Editor 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 — 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 — Colour Font with Four Named CPAL Palettes (light/dark)A colour font carrying four CPAL palettes with name-table labels and palette-type flags, two of them marked usable with a light or a dark background. For testing palette pickers, the CSS font-palette property, and renderers that only ever read palette zero. Original typeface, free to use.
