Fallback while it loads
Until Tauri loads, this sets Arial in its place at 107.6% of its size, so running text keeps Tauri’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Tauri
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Tauri free for commercial use?
Yes. Tauri is under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 , which allows commercial use at any scale, logos, websites, apps and PDFs included; a changed version may not be called “Tauri”.
How do I download and install Tauri?
FontKind doesn’t host Tauri’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 Tauri in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Tauri 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 Tauri under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Tauri in Figma?
Yes: Tauri is in Figma’s font menu, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
