Fallback while it loads
Until Share loads, this sets Arial in its place at 91.9% of its size, so running text keeps Share’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

09 / Questions
Questions about Share
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Share free for commercial use?
Yes. Share 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 “Share”.
How do I download and install Share?
FontKind doesn’t host Share’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds four font files, one per style. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is Share in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Share 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.
Is Share in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Share under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Share in Figma?
Yes: Share is in Figma’s font menu with all two weights and their italics, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
