08 / Questions

Questions about Cause

Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list

Is Cause free for commercial use?

Yes. Cause 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 Cause?

FontKind doesn’t host Cause’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 Cause in Microsoft Word?

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

Is Cause in Google Docs?

Most likely. Search for Cause under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.

Yes: Cause is in Figma’s font menu with all nine weights, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
