We started building Nano to solve a problem: the SVG images used on our website (embed with <img> tags) are not showing the correct font we've chosen - Roboto. After few rounds of testing and searching for solutions, embedding fonts seemed to be the best way to solve the problem, without ballooning our SVG files size. We've wrote a blog post on how we came up with this solution on CSS-Tricks here: https://css-tricks.com/using-custom-fonts-with-svg-in-an-ima...

Would love to get some comments from the HN community on Nano, especially on the compression we've done: https://vecta.io/blog/2018/05/08/how-nano-compresses-svg/

Anything else that you think we could have done better in terms of compression? :)
