Fallback while it loads
Until Kufam loads, this sets Arial in its place at 110.4% of its size, so running text keeps Kufam’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Kufam
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Kufam free for commercial use?
Yes. Kufam 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 Kufam?
FontKind doesn’t host Kufam’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 Kufam in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Kufam 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 Kufam Medium and Kufam 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 Kufam in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Kufam under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Kufam in Figma?
Yes: Kufam is in Figma’s font menu with all six weights and their italics, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.

Kufam comes in six weights, from Regular (400) to Black (900), each with an italic. It is a variable font: it takes any weight from 400 to 900.
