Fallback while it loads
Until Sen loads, this sets Arial in its place at 108.1% of its size, so running text keeps Sen’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Sen
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Sen free for commercial use?
Yes. Sen 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 Sen?
FontKind doesn’t host Sen’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 Sen in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Sen 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 Sen Medium and Sen ExtraBold. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
Is Sen in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Sen under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Sen in Figma?
Yes: Sen is in Figma’s font menu with all five weights, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
How many weights does Sen have?
Sen comes in five weights: Regular (400), Medium (500), SemiBold (600), Bold (700) and ExtraBold (800). It is a variable font: it takes any weight from 400 to 800.
