Fallback while it loads
Until Amiko loads, this sets Arial in its place at 113.1% of its size, so running text keeps Amiko’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Amiko
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Amiko free for commercial use?
Yes. Amiko is under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 , which allows commercial use at any scale, logos, websites, apps and PDFs included.
How do I download and install Amiko?
FontKind doesn’t host Amiko’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds three font files, one per style. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
