Yes. Kumbh Sans 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 Kumbh Sans?
FontKind doesn’t host Kumbh 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 one variable file for every style, and a static folder with a file per style: install one set or the other, not both.

Is Kumbh Sans in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Kumbh 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 Kumbh Sans Thin and Kumbh 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.
