I work as a developer at a growing startup, who creates a widget which is inserted into a vendor webpage, much like Intercom's chat bubble.

We spent a lot of time ensuring our build came in as small as possible, in order to reduce server costs and page load times, for millions of potential users.

Suddenly, the creative side of the business wanted to add our own font to the application. The bespoke font files (woff2&1, thanks lord) we were given were almost 5x the size of the initial build package.

All the worth of optimisation, right?

not to mention that its hard to stop custom fonts 'popping in'
