Questions about Chunk Five
Answered from its licence, Fontsource and each app’s own font list
Is Chunk Five free for commercial use?
Yes. Chunk Five 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 Chunk Five?
FontKind doesn’t host Chunk Five’s files: it isn’t on Google Fonts, and comes free from Fontsource , a library of open fonts. On its page there, choose Get font, then Download complete family, and unzip the file: it holds desktop fonts for every weight and style. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install. For a website, npm install @fontsource/chunk-five adds it in one line.
Is Chunk Five in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Chunk Five 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 Chunk Five in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and Chunk Five comes from Fontsource. Docs can’t add a font of your own, so set it in an app on your computer, such as Word, instead.
Is Chunk Five in Figma?
Not built in: Figma includes Google Fonts, and Chunk Five comes from Fontsource. Install it on your computer and Figma lists it.
How many weights does Chunk Five have?
Chunk Five comes in one weight, ExtraBold (800). Ask for bold and most apps thicken the letters themselves: a faux bold, not a drawn one.
Who designed Chunk Five?
Chunk Five was designed by Meredith Mandel.
