About OTF

OpenType Font (OTF) was developed jointly by Adobe and Microsoft in the 1990s, combining the best of TrueType and PostScript Type 1 formats. OTF files use cubic Bezier curves (CFF/PostScript outlines) which are preferred by professional typographers for their precision. The format supports advanced typographic features including ligatures, stylistic alternates, small caps, and contextual substitutions.

OTF fonts are the standard for professional design work and are fully supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux. They can contain up to 65,536 glyphs, enabling comprehensive language support and extensive alternate character sets. While larger than web-optimized WOFF2, OTF provides the complete font feature set needed for desktop publishing, print design, and as the source format for web font generation.
