If you look at the tarball, you will see that it contains both hinted
and unhinted forms.  Many of the historic scripts do not have hinted
forms, but most of the fonts for current languages do.

There are also the MS-compatible fonts (Arimo, Cousine, Tinos) which
did not get carried forward into Noto-hinted.

As for the overall size difference, a lot is from the CJK fonts - the
unpacked NotoSansCJKjp fonts are over 100MiB, I think the other three
(kr,sc,tc) are similar, plus about 130+ MiB for the MonoCJK fonts.
