Questions about Belanosima
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Belanosima free for commercial use?
Yes. Belanosima 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 “Josefin Sans”.
How do I download and install Belanosima?
FontKind doesn’t host Belanosima’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds three font files, one per style. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is Belanosima in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Belanosima 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 Belanosima SemiBold. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
