Self-hosting Google Fonts

Serve Google Fonts from your own server

Open sourceOpen source

Self-hosting Google Fonts is not a product but an approach: instead of loading typefaces from Google's servers on every page view, you download the font files and serve them from your own site. The linked tool prepares the files and the CSS for you, and guides exist for common frameworks such as Laravel.

This is a self-hosted open source approach rather than a company, so it is not necessarily European. It does remove a request to an American service from every page load and gives visitor IP addresses no reason to leave your server, which makes it a simple European alternative for sites that must document where visitor data goes. Pages usually load faster too.
