Fallback while it loads
Until Rosario loads, this sets Arial in its place at 95.1% of its size, so running text keeps Rosario’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

09 / Questions
Questions about Rosario
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Rosario free for commercial use?
Yes. Rosario 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 Rosario?
FontKind doesn’t host Rosario’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. 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. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is Rosario in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Rosario 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 Rosario Light and Rosario 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 Rosario in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Rosario under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Rosario in Figma?
Yes: Rosario is in Figma’s font menu with all five weights and their italics, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
How many weights does Rosario have?
Rosario comes in five weights: Light (300), Regular (400), Medium (500), SemiBold (600) and Bold (700), each with an italic. It is a variable font: it takes any weight from 300 to 700.
