Questions about Handjet
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Handjet free for commercial use?
Yes. Handjet 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 Handjet?
FontKind doesn’t host Handjet’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 Handjet in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Handjet 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 Handjet Thin and Handjet 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 Handjet in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Handjet under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Handjet in Figma?
Yes: Handjet 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 Handjet have?
Handjet comes in nine weights, from Thin (100) to Black (900). It is a variable font: it takes any weight from 100 to 900, plus two axes of its own.
