What is WOFF2?
WOFF2 (Web Open Font Format 2.0) is the successor to WOFF, published as a W3C recommendation in 2018. It wraps TrueType or OpenType font data using Brotli compression, which typically makes web fonts around 30% smaller than WOFF, and it is today the dominant format for serving fonts on the web.
WOFF2 uses lossless compression, so files shrink without losing any information and decode back to the original data exactly.
WOFF2 was developed by W3C and is an open standard.
Opening WOFF2 files on a Mac
WOFF2 is a web-delivery format: Font Book installs TTF and OTF but not WOFF2, so macOS has no built-in way to install or use it as a desktop font.
