How do I download and install Saira Stencil?

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: Saira Stencil isn’t one of Microsoft 365’s cloud fonts. Installed, it is in Word’s font menu and PowerPoint’s.

For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.

Saira Stencil comes in nine weights, from Thin (100) to Black (900), each with an italic. It is a variable font: it takes any weight from 100 to 900 and widths from 50% to 125%.
