Questions about Strait
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list

How do I download and install Strait?
FontKind doesn’t host Strait’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 Strait in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Strait 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 Strait in Figma?
Yes: Strait is in Figma’s font menu, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
