Fallback while it loads
Until National Park loads, this sets Arial in its place at 100.6% of its size, so running text keeps National Park’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about National Park
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is National Park free for commercial use?
Yes. National Park 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 National Park?
FontKind doesn’t host National Park’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 National Park in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: National Park 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 National Park ExtraLight and National Park ExtraBold. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
