Fallback while it loads
Until Trykker loads, this sets Times New Roman in its place at 121.2% of its size, so running text keeps Trykker’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Trykker
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Trykker free for commercial use?
Yes. Trykker 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 “Trykker”.
How do I download and install Trykker?
FontKind doesn’t host Trykker’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 Trykker in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Trykker 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 Trykker under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Trykker in Figma?
Yes: Trykker is in Figma’s font menu, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
