Questions about Nunito Sans

How do I download and install Nunito Sans?

It holds two variable files, one for the uprights and one for the italics, and a static folder with a file per style: install one set or the other, not both.

Not until you install it: Nunito 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 Nunito Sans ExtraLight and Nunito 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.
