Running text within 3% of the width, x-height within 5%
None of the fonts that look most like Flavors sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.
Fallback while it loads
Until Flavors loads, this sets Arial in its place at 95.4% of its size, so running text keeps Flavors’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Flavors
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Flavors free for commercial use?
Yes. Flavors is under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 , which allows commercial use at any scale, logos, websites, apps and PDFs included; a changed version may not be called “Flavors”.
How do I download and install Flavors?
FontKind doesn’t host Flavors’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 Flavors in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Flavors 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.

Most likely. Search for Flavors under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Flavors in Figma?
Yes: Flavors is in Figma’s font menu, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
