European font services

Serve web fonts without a US font CDN

Replaces: Google Fonts

A font service provides typefaces for websites and desktop use. For the web, that usually means a stylesheet and font files delivered from a CDN, which you reference from your pages with a couple of lines. The service handles formats, subsets and caching so the same typeface renders across browsers, and licensing terms cover how many page views or installations you are allowed.

Embedding a remote font means every visitor's browser contacts that host and hands over an IP address, a point German courts have already ruled on. Bunny Fonts serves open typefaces from European infrastructure, and Self-hosting Google Fonts is listed here as the option that removes the third party call entirely. A European alternative for web fonts keeps that request in the EU, which usually removes one line from your privacy policy.
