07 / Swap

Swap Belgika without a jump

Running text within 3% of the width, x-height within 5%

None of the fonts that look most like Belgika sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.

Fallback while it loads

Until Belgika loads, this sets Arial in its place at 142% of its size, so running text keeps Belgika’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.
