Fallback while it loads
Until Clear Sans loads, this sets Arial in its place at 102.2% of its size, so running text keeps Clear Sans’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

09 / Questions
Questions about Clear Sans
Answered from its licence, Fontsource and each app’s own font list
Is Clear Sans free for commercial use?
Yes. Clear Sans is under the Apache License 2.0 , which allows commercial use at any scale, logos, websites, apps and PDFs included; a file you change is marked as changed.
How do I download and install Clear Sans?
FontKind doesn’t host Clear Sans’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/clear-sans adds it in one line.
Is Clear Sans in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Clear Sans 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 Clear Sans Thin and Clear Sans Medium. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
Is Clear Sans in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and Clear Sans 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 Clear Sans in Figma?
Not built in: Figma includes Google Fonts, and Clear Sans comes from Fontsource. Install it on your computer and Figma lists it.
How many weights does Clear Sans have?
Clear Sans comes in five weights: Thin (100), Light (300), Regular (400), Medium (500) and Bold (700), each with an italic.
