Questions about Clash Grotesk
Answered from its licence, Fontshare and each app’s own font list
Is Clash Grotesk free for commercial use?
Yes. Clash Grotesk 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 Clash Grotesk?
FontKind doesn’t host Clash Grotesk’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 Clash Grotesk in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Clash Grotesk 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 Clash Grotesk ExtraLight and Clash Grotesk SemiBold. For someone who hasn’t installed it, save it as a PDF, which carries the font with it.
Is Clash Grotesk in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and Clash Grotesk 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 Clash Grotesk in Figma?
Not built in: Figma includes Google Fonts, and Clash Grotesk comes from Fontshare. Install it on your computer and Figma lists it.
