Optimizing web fonts
SummaryAI, from the source post

This post details how to optimize web fonts using `font-display` CSS properties for controlling text rendering behavior during font loading, `size-adjust` and other font-face descriptors for ensuring consistency with fallback fonts, and resource hints (`preconnect`, `preload`) for reducing download times. It highlights the `next/font` module as an automated solution that downloads fonts at build time, serves them locally, calculates necessary font metrics for layout shift prevention, and preloads fonts for improved performance.
