Questions about Faustina
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Faustina free for commercial use?
Yes. Faustina 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 Faustina?
FontKind doesn’t host Faustina’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds two variable files, one for the uprights and one for the italics, and a static folder with a file per style: install one set or the other, not both. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is Faustina in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Faustina 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 Faustina Light and Faustina 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 Faustina in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Faustina under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
