Questions about Excon
Answered from its licence, Fontshare and each app’s own font list
Is Excon free for commercial use?
Yes. Excon 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 Excon?
FontKind doesn’t host Excon’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 Excon in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Excon 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 Excon Thin and Excon Black. For someone who hasn’t installed it, save it as a PDF, which carries the font with it.
Is Excon in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and Excon 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 Excon in Figma?
Not built in: Figma includes Google Fonts, and Excon comes from Fontshare. Install it on your computer and Figma lists it.
How many weights does Excon have?
Excon comes in six weights, from Thin (100) to Black (900).
Who designed Excon?
Excon was designed by Alisa Nowak. Alisa Nowak also made Alpino, Bespoke Sans, Bespoke Serif and two more on FontKind.
