Font hosting on a CDN: WOFF2 and WOFF/TTF requirements
WOFF2 is the right call for CDN delivery. The compression advantage over older formats is significant and browser support is wide enough that there's no argument against leading with it.
Where I’ve seen people go wrong is in treating that as permission to drop WOFF and TTF entirely. Those formats still cover a tail of older browsers that's negligible but not absent, and serving blank text or system font fallbacks to even a handful of users is the kind of thing that comes back to you.
I’ve personally kept WOFF and TTF on every project since learning that the hard way. The overhead is minimal and the coverage is worth it.
