OTF — Web Container Source, CFF (Type 2) Outlines
The 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.

- the uncompressed source its WOFF and WOFF2 twins are packed from
Testing contract
Reference control- Scenario
- Record the byte size and glyph checksums, then unpack the WOFF and WOFF2 twins and compare.
- Expected result
- The unpacked twins reproduce the same glyph outlines and metrics; only the container framing differs.
What is a .otf file?
OTF (OpenType Font) is a scalable font format built on the TrueType structure but able to carry PostScript/CFF cubic-Bezier outlines and advanced typographic features like ligatures and alternates. It supports large Unicode glyph sets and rich layout tables. It is a professional-grade format for desktop and web.
How to use this file
Use an example OTF to test OpenType parsing, advanced layout-feature handling, glyph extraction, and font-conversion or subsetting pipelines.
How to use this file for testing
“OTF — Web Container Source, CFF (Type 2) Outlines” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Conversion testing, Web assets, Performance testing. 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 · the uncompressed source its WOFF and WOFF2 twins are packed from. 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.

- ttfTTF — Full Face (subsetting baseline)The complete face the rest of the subset set is cut from: the whole glyph repertoire with ligatures, kerning, contextual alternates, small caps, stylistic sets, figures, fractions, marks and localised forms intact. Measure it, then measure the cuts. Original typeface, free to use.
- ttfTTF — Partially Instanced Variable Font (wdth pinned, wght live)The two-axis font with its width axis pinned to Condensed and its weight axis left live — the shipping shape for a site that wants one width but the whole weight range. For testing that a loader reads the reduced fvar rather than the original axis list. Original typeface, free to use.
- ttfTTF — Subset with Layout Features KeptA 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.
- 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.
