Compact Font Format (.cff)

CFF, or Compact Font Format, is a file extension used in computer technology for efficient storage of font data. CFF was developed as part of Adobe's PostScript technology to streamline font file sizes while maintaining high-quality vector graphics. Its primary use is in embedded systems, print, and digital media, providing a compact and versatile format for typefaces. The history of CFF dates back to the early 1990s when it was introduced to address the need for more efficient font management in professional publishing and graphic design environments.
