Questions about Marhey
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Marhey free for commercial use?
Yes. Marhey 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 Marhey?
FontKind doesn’t host Marhey’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. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is Marhey in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Marhey 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 Marhey Light and Marhey SemiBold. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
Is Marhey in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Marhey under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.

Yes: Marhey is in Figma’s font menu with all five weights, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
