How do I download and install Bodoni Moda?
FontKind doesn’t host Bodoni Moda’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds two variable files, one for the uprights and one for the italics, and a static folder with a file per style: install one set or the other, not both.

Not until you install it: Bodoni Moda 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 Bodoni Moda Medium and Bodoni Moda Black. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
