Brick is an open-source webfont serving service that delivers unmodified, full-character-set fonts as WOFF files via a Fastly CDN, similar to Google Fonts but with higher fidelity rendering. The repository contains the font catalog and site, while the hosted service has been inactive since 2018.
Use cases
- serve high-quality webfonts without subsetting
- alternative to Google Fonts with full character sets
- load fonts via CSS stylesheet URL
- improve font rendering with ligatures and kerning
- self-host an open-source webfont service
When to choose
- you need unmodified fonts with complete character sets
- you want a free open-source alternative to Google Fonts
- typographic quality like ligatures and kerning matters
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained service (last release 2018)
- you require desktop font files rather than webfonts
- you need a license-guaranteed dependency (no license file)
