Questions about Hubot Sans
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Hubot Sans free for commercial use?
Yes. Hubot Sans is under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 , which allows commercial use at any scale, logos, websites, apps and PDFs included; a changed version may not be called “Hubot”.
How do I download and install Hubot Sans?
FontKind doesn’t host Hubot Sans’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds two variable files, one for the uprights and one for the italics, 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 Hubot Sans in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Hubot Sans 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 Hubot Sans ExtraLight and Hubot Sans 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 Hubot Sans in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Hubot Sans under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Hubot Sans in Figma?
Yes: Hubot Sans is in Figma’s font menu with all eight weights and their italics, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
