Fallback while it loads
Until Commissioner loads, this sets Arial in its place at 101.5% of its size, so running text keeps Commissioner’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Commissioner
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Commissioner free for commercial use?
Yes. Commissioner 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 Commissioner?
FontKind doesn’t host Commissioner’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 Commissioner in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Commissioner 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 Commissioner Thin and Commissioner Black. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
Is Commissioner in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Commissioner under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Commissioner in Figma?
Yes: Commissioner is in Figma’s font menu with all nine weights, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
How many weights does Commissioner have?
Commissioner comes in nine weights, from Thin (100) to Black (900). It is a variable font: it takes any weight from 100 to 900 and a slant of up to 12°, plus two axes of its own.
