07 / Swap
Swap Crushed without a jump
Running text within 3% of the width, x-height within 5%
None of the fonts that look most like Crushed sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.
Fallback while it loads
Until Crushed loads, this sets Arial in its place at 85.2% of its size, so running text keeps Crushed’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Crushed
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Crushed free for commercial use?
Yes. Crushed is under the Apache License 2.0 , which allows commercial use at any scale, logos, websites, apps and PDFs included; a file you change is marked as changed.
How do I download and install Crushed?
FontKind doesn’t host Crushed’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds a single font file. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is Crushed in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Crushed 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.

Yes: Crushed is in Figma’s font menu, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
