Fallback while it loads
Until Nunito loads, this sets Arial in its place at 101.9% of its size, so running text keeps Nunito’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Nunito
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Nunito free for commercial use?
Yes. Nunito 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 Nunito?
FontKind doesn’t host Nunito’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds two variable files, one for the uprights and one for the italics, 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 Nunito in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Nunito 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 Nunito ExtraLight and Nunito Black. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
