Fallback while it loads
Until Ledger loads, this sets Times New Roman in its place at 124.5% of its size, so running text keeps Ledger’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Ledger
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Ledger free for commercial use?
Yes. Ledger 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 “Ledger”.
How do I download and install Ledger?
FontKind doesn’t host Ledger’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 Ledger in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Ledger 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.
Is Ledger in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Ledger under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Ledger in Figma?
Yes: Ledger is in Figma’s font menu, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
How many weights does Ledger have?
Ledger comes in one weight, Regular (400). Ask for bold and most apps thicken the letters themselves: a faux bold, not a drawn one.
