Questions about Sharpie
Answered from its licence, Fontshare and each app’s own font list
Is Sharpie free for commercial use?
Yes. Sharpie is under the ITF Free Font License 2.0 , which allows commercial use, logos you can register as trademarks and your own websites and apps. But its files may not be changed, not even subset, nor passed outside your organisation.
How do I download and install Sharpie?
FontKind doesn’t host Sharpie’s files: it comes free from Fontshare , Indian Type Foundry’s library, and only from there. Download it from its page there and unzip the file. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open.
Is Sharpie in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Sharpie 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 Sharpie Light and Sharpie Black. For someone who hasn’t installed it, save it as a PDF, which carries the font with it.
Is Sharpie in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and Sharpie comes from Fontshare. Docs can’t add a font of your own, so set it in an app on your computer, such as Word, instead.
Is Sharpie in Figma?
Not built in: Figma includes Google Fonts, and Sharpie comes from Fontshare. Install it on your computer and Figma lists it.
How many weights does Sharpie have?
Sharpie comes in five weights: Light (300), Regular (400), Bold (700), ExtraBold (800) and Black (900).
Who designed Sharpie?
Sharpie was designed by Théo Guillard. Théo Guillard also made Bespoke Sans, Bespoke Slab, Gambarino and one more on FontKind.
