How do I download and install DSEG14 Modern?

FontKind doesn’t host DSEG14 Modern’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.
