Fallback while it loads
Until Onest loads, this sets Arial in its place at 106.2% of its size, so running text keeps Onest’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Yes. Onest 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 Onest?
FontKind doesn’t host Onest’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file.
