Questions about Monaspace Neon
Answered from its licence, Fontsource and each app’s own font list
Is Monaspace Neon free for commercial use?
Yes. Monaspace Neon 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 Monaspace Neon?
FontKind doesn’t host Monaspace Neon’s files: it isn’t on Google Fonts, and comes free from Fontsource , a library of open fonts. On its page there, choose Get font, then Download complete family, and unzip the file: it holds desktop fonts for every weight and style. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install. For a website, npm install @fontsource/monaspace-neon adds it in one line.
Is Monaspace Neon in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Monaspace Neon 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 Monaspace Neon ExtraLight and Monaspace Neon ExtraBold. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
Is Monaspace Neon in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and Monaspace Neon comes from Fontsource. Docs can’t add a font of your own, so set it in an app on your computer, such as Word, instead.
Is Monaspace Neon in Figma?
Not built in: Figma includes Google Fonts, and Monaspace Neon comes from Fontsource. Install it on your computer and Figma lists it.
