Fallback while it loads
Until Jura loads, this sets Arial in its place at 108.4% of its size, so running text keeps Jura’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Jura
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Jura free for commercial use?
Yes. Jura 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 Jura?
FontKind doesn’t host Jura’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 Jura in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Jura 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 Jura Light and Jura SemiBold. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
Is Jura in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Jura under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Jura in Figma?
Yes: Jura is in Figma’s font menu with all five weights, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
How many weights does Jura have?
Jura comes in five weights: Light (300), Regular (400), Medium (500), SemiBold (600) and Bold (700). It is a variable font: it takes any weight from 300 to 700.
