Fallback while it loads
Until AR One Sans loads, this sets Arial in its place at 107.5% of its size, so running text keeps AR One Sans’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Yes. AR One Sans 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 AR One Sans?
