Questions about Chango
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Chango free for commercial use?
Yes. Chango 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 “Chango”.
How do I download and install Chango?
FontKind doesn’t host Chango’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds a single font file. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is Chango in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Chango isn’t one of Microsoft 365’s cloud fonts. Installed, it is in Word’s font menu and PowerPoint’s. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.

Is Chango in Figma?
Yes: Chango is in Figma’s font menu, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
