09 / Questions
Questions about Cooper Hewitt
Answered from its licence, Fontsource and each app’s own font list
Is Cooper Hewitt free for commercial use?
Yes. Cooper Hewitt 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 Cooper Hewitt?
FontKind doesn’t host Cooper Hewitt’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/cooper-hewitt adds it in one line.
Is Cooper Hewitt in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Cooper Hewitt 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 Cooper Hewitt Thin and Cooper Hewitt ExtraBold. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
Is Cooper Hewitt in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and Cooper Hewitt 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 Cooper Hewitt in Figma?
Not built in: Figma includes Google Fonts, and Cooper Hewitt comes from Fontsource. Install it on your computer and Figma lists it.
How many weights does Cooper Hewitt have?
Cooper Hewitt comes in eight weights, from Thin (100) to ExtraBold (800), each with an italic.
