None of the fonts that look most like Nafile Expanded sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.

Fallback while it loads

Until Nafile Expanded loads, this sets Arial in its place at 254.8% of its size, so running text keeps Nafile Expanded’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.
