## What it is
A collection of NPM packages that bundle open source typefaces with their font files and CSS for easy self-hosting in web projects. The project is deprecated in favor of Fontsource, though existing packages continue to work.

## Use cases
- self-host webfonts instead of loading from Google Fonts
- install open source fonts as npm dependencies
- make fonts work offline in a web project
- reduce page load time by avoiding external font requests
- use typefaces not available on Google Fonts
- add fonts to a Gatsby or Create React App project

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy project already using typeface-* packages
- you want fonts managed through npm and bundled by webpack

## When to avoid
- starting a new project — use Fontsource instead
- you need automated releases, specific weights, styles, or language subsets
- your build setup doesn't handle CSS and font file loaders

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, css-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: fonts, typography, self-hosted-fonts, npm-packages, deprecated, webfonts, nodejs, web-server
