Questions about Gambetta
Answered from its licence, Fontshare and each app’s own font list
Is Gambetta free for commercial use?
Yes. Gambetta 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 Gambetta?
FontKind doesn’t host Gambetta’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 Gambetta in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Gambetta 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 Gambetta Light and Gambetta SemiBold. For someone who hasn’t installed it, save it as a PDF, which carries the font with it.
Is Gambetta in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and Gambetta 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 Gambetta in Figma?
Not built in: Figma includes Google Fonts, and Gambetta comes from Fontshare. Install it on your computer and Figma lists it.
How many weights does Gambetta have?
Gambetta comes in five weights: Light (300), Regular (400), Medium (500), SemiBold (600) and Bold (700), each with an italic.
