Questions about Beiruti
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Beiruti free for commercial use?
Yes. Beiruti is under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 , which allows commercial use at any scale, logos, websites, apps and PDFs included.
How do I download and install Beiruti?
FontKind doesn’t host Beiruti’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds one variable file for every style, and a static folder with a file per style: install one set or the other, not both. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is Beiruti in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Beiruti isn’t one of Microsoft 365’s cloud fonts. Installed, it is in Word’s font menu and PowerPoint’s. On Windows, its weights beyond Regular and Bold show as fonts of their own, such as Beiruti ExtraLight and Beiruti Black. 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 Beiruti under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
