Questions about Merienda
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Merienda free for commercial use?
Yes. Merienda 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 “Merienda”.
How do I download and install Merienda?
FontKind doesn’t host Merienda’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 Merienda in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Merienda 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 Merienda Light and Merienda 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 Merienda in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Merienda under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Merienda in Figma?
Yes: Merienda is in Figma’s font menu with all seven weights, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
How many weights does Merienda have?
Merienda comes in seven weights, from Light (300) to Black (900). It is a variable font: it takes any weight from 300 to 900.
