Questions about Bonny
Answered from its licence, Fontshare and each app’s own font list
Is Bonny free for commercial use?
Yes. Bonny is under the ITF Free Font License 2.0 , which allows commercial use, logos you can register as trademarks and your own websites and apps. But its files may not be changed, not even subset, nor passed outside your organisation.
How do I download and install Bonny?
FontKind doesn’t host Bonny’s files: it comes free from Fontshare , Indian Type Foundry’s library, and only from there. Download it from its page there and unzip the file. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open.
Is Bonny in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Bonny 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 Bonny Thin and Bonny Medium. For someone who hasn’t installed it, save it as a PDF, which carries the font with it.
Is Bonny in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and Bonny comes from Fontshare. Docs can’t add a font of your own, so set it in an app on your computer, such as Word, instead.
Is Bonny in Figma?
Not built in: Figma includes Google Fonts, and Bonny comes from Fontshare. Install it on your computer and Figma lists it.
How many weights does Bonny have?
Bonny comes in five weights: Thin (100), Light (300), Regular (400), Medium (500) and Bold (700).
