WOFF2 — Subset: Digits

The digits subset in the container a site would serve, so a size comparison against the full WOFF2 measures the subset rather than the compressor. Original typeface, free to use.

Testing contract

Expected to pass
Scenario
Compare this file size against the full-face WOFF2 in the same group.
Expected result
The subset is 1548 bytes against the full face's Brotli size; both are WOFF2, so the difference is the removed glyphs and lookups.

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 — Subset: Digits” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Conversion testing, Performance 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.
