07 / Swap
Swap Anonymous Pro without a jump
Running text within 3% of the width, x-height within 5%
None of the fonts that look most like Anonymous Pro sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.
Fallback while it loads
Until Anonymous Pro loads, this sets Courier New in its place at 91% of its size, so running text keeps Anonymous Pro’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.
