Example font files are useful for web developers, graphic designers, and typographers to test how fonts render across devices and browsers. On example-file.com, you can download safe and license-free font samples including TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2, EOT, and TTC.
Each sample contains basic Latin characters, numbers, and punctuation. Some files include multilingual glyphs for testing Unicode, kerning, and hinting behaviors in modern rendering engines.
Available Font Formats
- TTF (TrueType Font): Standard desktop font format used on Windows and macOS.
- OTF (OpenType Font): Advanced format supporting ligatures and vector curves.
- WOFF: Web-optimized font format for embedding in websites.
- WOFF2: Improved compression for faster web font loading.
- EOT: Legacy format supported by older versions of Internet Explorer.
- TTC (TrueType Collection): Multi-font container used in East Asian typefaces.
Example File Downloads
- example.ttf – TrueType font sample
- example.otf – OpenType font with ligatures

Why Use Example Font Files?
- Web Embedding Tests: Verify @font-face rules, CORS policies, and font loading performance across browsers.
- Typography Preview: Check font rendering, kerning, and hinting in design tools and code editors.
- Conversion Testing: Test font conversion tools like TTF → WOFF or OTF → EOT without licensing restrictions.
How to Use These Font Files
- Select a font format: Choose TTF, OTF, or web formats (WOFF/WOFF2) depending on your testing target.
- Download and include: Use the @font-face CSS rule or load the file in your design tool or font manager.
- Render and evaluate: Test text appearance, load time, and fallback behavior on multiple devices or OS.
- WOFF2 offers the best compression for web environments.
- Use OTF if you want to test advanced ligatures and glyph features.
- TTF is ideal for general-purpose compatibility testing.
