Questions about Federant
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list

How do I download and install Federant?

Is Federant in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Federant 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.
