It converts Type 1 to CFF.  CFF is more compact and not encrypted.
The specs can be downloaded from Adobe.

I just downloaded Peter Szabó's pdfsizeopt (Python) script.

  https://github.com/pts/pdfsizeopt

With

  pdflatex alegreya-samples.tex
  pdfsizeopt --do-require-image-optimizers=no \
  	     alegreya-samples.pdf alegreya-samples-pts.pdf

I get

  -rw-r--r-- 1 reinhard users 149950 Aug 21 00:14 alegreya-samples-gs.pdf
  -rw-r--r-- 1 reinhard users  99761 Aug 21 00:38 alegreya-samples-pts.pdf

*This* is amazing!

Regards,
  Reinhard
