About TTF
TrueType Font (TTF) was developed jointly by Apple and Microsoft in the late 1980s as an alternative to Adobe's Type 1 fonts. The format uses quadratic Bezier curves to define glyph outlines and includes instruction-based hinting for precise rendering at small sizes. TTF fonts are fully scalable, meaning they render crisply at any size without pixelation. The format became the standard for desktop publishing and remains widely used today.

TTF files contain complete font data including character outlines, kerning tables, and hinting instructions. They work on all major operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) and are ideal for desktop applications and print design. While TTF files are larger than web-optimized formats like WOFF2, they provide maximum compatibility and are the source format for font conversion workflows.
