Questions about Gambarino
Answered from its licence, Fontshare and each app’s own font list
Is Gambarino free for commercial use?
Yes. Gambarino 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 Gambarino?
FontKind doesn’t host Gambarino’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 Gambarino in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Gambarino 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, save it as a PDF, which carries the font with it.
Is Gambarino in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and Gambarino 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 Gambarino in Figma?
Not built in: Figma includes Google Fonts, and Gambarino comes from Fontshare. Install it on your computer and Figma lists it.
How many weights does Gambarino have?
Gambarino comes in one weight, Regular (400). Ask for bold and most apps thicken the letters themselves: a faux bold, not a drawn one.
