OTF (OpenType Font) is a digital font format developed by Microsoft and Adobe in the late 1990s. OTF fonts are widely used on both Mac and Windows operating systems and are known for their high quality and support for a wide range of character sets and features.
OTF fonts offer several important benefits over other font formats. First, they are cross-platform, meaning they can be used on both Mac and Windows computers without any compatibility issues. Second, OTF fonts support a wide range of character sets, including Unicode, which allows them to display text in multiple languages. Third, OTF fonts support advanced typographic features such as ligatures, kerning, and hinting, which can improve the appearance and readability of text.
