Here is an example of my suggestions. The distribution file LeagueSpartan-2.202.zip
would extract to a structure like this:
LeagueSpartan-2.202

This whole discussion assumes what we want is a single distribution archive with all available formats it it. It would just as easily be possible to break it up into separate archives by type or format if that's somehow desirable. Instead of just FooBar-1.002.zip
we could generate FooBar-1.002-variable-otf.zip
, FooBar-1.002-static-ttf.zip
, FooBar-1.002-variable-woff2.zip
, and so forth. This might save bandwidth and allow some people to cherry narrow in on just what they need at the download level, but I feel like that saved bandwidth might not be worth the cost of confusion of "which file do I download", "where did all the files go", etc.

Another division I hadn't considered is how to name & distribute hinted vs unhinted fonts for the same project. Some apparently do both (e.g. Castoro).

One alternative: Separate packages for every possible version. Looking at you Iosevka. Although Recursive could have had it beat if they'd gone that route.
