There isn't a Type 2 font format per se, but there is a Type 2 Charstring,
i.e. a method of expressing font outlines, which is used in CFF fonts, e.g.
PS OpenType. The principal characteristic of Type 2 is that it is very much
more compact than Type 1, resulting in smaller fonts.

What was venerated as style was nothing more than
an imperfection or flaw that revealed the guilty hand.
