Questions about Splash
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Splash free for commercial use?
Yes. Splash 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 Splash?
FontKind doesn’t host Splash’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds a single font file. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is Splash in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Splash 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 Splash in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Splash under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Splash in Figma?
Yes: Splash is in Figma’s font menu, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
How many weights does Splash have?
Splash comes in one weight, Regular (400). Ask for bold and most apps thicken the letters themselves: a faux bold, not a drawn one.
