It’s widely accepted that self-hosted fonts are the fastest option: same origin means reduced network negotiation, predictable URLs mean we can preload , self-hosted means we can set our own cache-control. On a high-latency connection, this spells bad news. Put another-other way, this file is latency-bound, not bandwidth-bound.
