Font Flashes - page reload causes font flashes

This is a technical question for seasoned Unbounce users:

I notice that for a split second before the page fully renders, a “Times New Roman” font appears… then the google font, “Work Sans”, finally appears.

This happens every time I reload the page.
Is there a fix for this?
I’ve tried to get ahead of the Times Font load by adding a script to the head of the file using the Script Manager,

body {font-family: "Work Sans", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}

but it still flashes:

Here’s my example:

Thanks for any help!

Hey @FredSan,

The flash really depends on your location and internet speed. Based on my experience, flashing fonts is one of those things that are nice to fix but kind of a rabbit hole once you start trying to do it.

You can of course preload or prefetch the font in question but that would just create new issues.
