Questions about Gluten
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Gluten free for commercial use?
Yes. Gluten 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 Gluten?
FontKind doesn’t host Gluten’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds one variable file for every style, 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 Gluten in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Gluten 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 Gluten Thin and Gluten Black. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
Is Gluten in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Gluten under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Gluten in Figma?
Yes: Gluten is in Figma’s font menu with all nine weights, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
How many weights does Gluten have?
Gluten comes in nine weights, from Thin (100) to Black (900). It is a variable font: it takes any weight from 100 to 900 and a slant of up to 13°.
Who designed Gluten?
Gluten was designed by Tyler Finck and ETC. It has been on Google Fonts since September 2021. Tyler Finck also made League Gothic, Epilogue, League Spartan and nine more on FontKind.
