07 / Swap
Swap Gruppo without a jump
Running text within 3% of the width, x-height within 5%
None of the fonts that look most like Gruppo sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.
Fallback while it loads
Until Gruppo loads, this sets Arial in its place at 103% of its size, so running text keeps Gruppo’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Gruppo
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Gruppo free for commercial use?
Yes. Gruppo 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 Gruppo?
FontKind doesn’t host Gruppo’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds a single font file. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is Gruppo in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Gruppo 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.
Is Gruppo in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Gruppo under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Gruppo in Figma?
Yes: Gruppo is in Figma’s font menu, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
How many weights does Gruppo have?
Gruppo comes in one weight, Regular (400). Ask for bold and most apps thicken the letters themselves: a faux bold, not a drawn one.
