Fallback while it loads
Until Truculenta loads, this sets Arial in its place at 83.2% of its size, so running text keeps Truculenta’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Truculenta
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Truculenta free for commercial use?
Yes. Truculenta 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 Truculenta?
FontKind doesn’t host Truculenta’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 Truculenta in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Truculenta 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 Truculenta Thin and Truculenta Black. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
Is Truculenta in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Truculenta under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Truculenta in Figma?
Yes: Truculenta is in Figma’s font menu with all nine weights, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.
