07 / Swap

Swap Olé without a jump

Running text within 3% of the width, x-height within 5%

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

Fallback while it loads

Until Olé loads, this sets Arial in its place at 59.4% of its size, so running text keeps Olé’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

08 / Questions

Questions about Olé

Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list

Is Olé free for commercial use?

Yes. Olé 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 Olé?

FontKind doesn’t host Olé’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 Olé in Microsoft Word?

Not until you install it: Olé 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.

Most likely. Search for Olé under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.

Is Olé in Figma?

Yes: Olé is in Figma’s font menu, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
