Questions about Amarante
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Amarante free for commercial use?
Yes. Amarante 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 “Amarante”.
How do I download and install Amarante?
FontKind doesn’t host Amarante’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 Amarante in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Amarante 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.
Is Amarante in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Amarante under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Amarante in Figma?
Yes: Amarante is in Figma’s font menu, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
How many weights does Amarante have?
Amarante comes in one weight, Regular (400). Ask for bold and most apps thicken the letters themselves: a faux bold, not a drawn one.
