Questions about Kihim
Answered from its licence, Fontshare and each app’s own font list
Is Kihim free for commercial use?
Yes. Kihim is under the ITF Free Font License 2.0 , which allows commercial use, logos you can register as trademarks and your own websites and apps. But its files may not be changed, not even subset, nor passed outside your organisation.
How do I download and install Kihim?
FontKind doesn’t host Kihim’s files: it comes free from Fontshare , Indian Type Foundry’s library, and only from there. Download it from its page there and unzip the file. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open.
Is Kihim in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Kihim 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, save it as a PDF, which carries the font with it.
Is Kihim in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and Kihim comes from Fontshare. Docs can’t add a font of your own, so set it in an app on your computer, such as Word, instead.
Is Kihim in Figma?
Not built in: Figma includes Google Fonts, and Kihim comes from Fontshare. Install it on your computer and Figma lists it.
How many weights does Kihim have?
Kihim comes in one weight, Regular (400). Ask for bold and most apps thicken the letters themselves: a faux bold, not a drawn one.

Kihim was designed by Rocky Malaviya.
