Questions about Ewert
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Ewert free for commercial use?
Yes. Ewert is under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 , which allows commercial use at any scale, logos, websites, apps and PDFs included; a changed version may not be called “Ewert”.
How do I download and install Ewert?
FontKind doesn’t host Ewert’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds a single font file. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is Ewert in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Ewert 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 Ewert in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Ewert under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Ewert in Figma?
Yes: Ewert is in Figma’s font menu, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
