Fallback while it loads
Until Anek Latin loads, this sets Arial in its place at 95.4% of its size, so running text keeps Anek Latin’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Anek Latin
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Anek Latin free for commercial use?
Yes. Anek Latin 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 Anek Latin?
FontKind doesn’t host Anek Latin’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds one variable file for every style, and a static folder with a file per style: install one set or the other, not both. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is Anek Latin in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Anek Latin isn’t one of Microsoft 365’s cloud fonts. Installed, it is in Word’s font menu and PowerPoint’s. On Windows, its weights beyond Regular and Bold show as fonts of their own, such as Anek Latin Thin and Anek Latin ExtraBold. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
