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:

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