07 / Swap
Swap Viga without a jump
Running text within 3% of the width, x-height within 5%
None of the fonts that look most like Viga sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.
Fallback while it loads
Until Viga loads, this sets Arial in its place at 102% of its size, so running text keeps Viga’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

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

Yes. Viga 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 “Viga”.
How do I download and install Viga?
FontKind doesn’t host Viga’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 Viga in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Viga 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.

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