## What it is
A tool and hosted service for downloading and self-hosting Google Fonts, providing eot, ttf, svg, woff, and woff2 files plus ready-made CSS snippets. It offers both a web UI and an API for generating font packages.

## Use cases
- self-host google fonts to avoid third-party requests
- download woff2 files for a font with css snippets
- serve google fonts locally for gdpr compliance
- get font files in all formats for offline use
- generate @font-face css for self-hosted fonts

## When to choose
- you want to self-host Google Fonts instead of loading them from Google's CDN
- you need multiple font formats and ready-made @font-face CSS
- you need an API to programmatically fetch font packages

## When to avoid
- you are fine loading fonts from Google's hosted CDN
- you need variable fonts or advanced subsetting beyond what the service offers
