Running text within 3% of the width, x-height within 5%
None of the fonts that look most like Bonbon sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.
Fallback while it loads
Until Bonbon loads, this sets Arial in its place at 112.1% of its size, so running text keeps Bonbon’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Is Bonbon in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Bonbon isn’t one of Microsoft 365’s cloud fonts. Installed, it is in Word’s font menu and PowerPoint’s. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
