Fallback while it loads
Until K2D loads, this sets Arial in its place at 102.9% of its size, so running text keeps K2D’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about K2D
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is K2D free for commercial use?
Yes. K2D 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 K2D?
FontKind doesn’t host K2D’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds 16 font files, one per style. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is K2D in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: K2D 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 K2D Thin and K2D ExtraBold. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.

Most likely. Search for K2D under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
