A flash of unstyled text, commonly referred to as FOUT, is a web rendering event where text momentarily appears in a default system typeface prior to transitioning into the designated web fonts. This visual shift occurs because of the time required for a user’s browser to retrieve the custom font files over the network. While it is technically possible to eliminate this abrupt typeface transition by utilizing the CSS font-display property, doing so is generally discouraged because it achieves this by completely concealing the text until the download finishes, which ultimately triggers a flash of invisible text instead.
