Questions about Lobular
Answered from its licence, Tunera Type Foundry and each app’s own font list
Is Lobular free for commercial use?
Yes. Lobular 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 “Lobular”.
How do I download and install Lobular?
Lobular comes free from Tunera Type Foundry . Download it from its page there and unzip the file. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each TTF or OTF file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open. The web fonts this page uses are FontKind’s own copy, kept with its licence file .
Is Lobular in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and Lobular comes from Tunera Type Foundry. Docs can’t add a font of your own, so set it in an app on your computer, such as Word, instead.

Lobular comes in one weight, Regular (400). Ask for bold and most apps thicken the letters themselves: a faux bold, not a drawn one.
