OpenType
OpenType is a font technology and associated font format, developed by Microsoft and Adobe in the 1990s, which allows the end user to access additional features in a font.
OpenType became widely adopted on the web around 2010–2015, bringing previously print-specific features such as kerning, ligatures, numerals, etc. to websites.
OpenType was recently expanded to allow for variable fonts, whose proper term is OpenType Font Variations.
