Fallback while it loads
Until Teko loads, this sets Arial in its place at 66.3% of its size, so running text keeps Teko’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Teko
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Teko free for commercial use?
Yes. Teko 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 Teko?
FontKind doesn’t host Teko’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds one variable file for every style, and a static folder with a file per style: install one set or the other, not both. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.
Is Teko in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Teko 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 Teko Light and Teko SemiBold. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
Is Teko in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Teko under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Teko in Figma?
Yes: Teko is in Figma’s font menu with all five weights, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
How many weights does Teko have?
Teko comes in five weights: Light (300), Regular (400), Medium (500), SemiBold (600) and Bold (700). It is a variable font: it takes any weight from 300 to 700.
