Fallback while it loads
Until Uncut Sans loads, this sets Arial in its place at 101.9% of its size, so running text keeps Uncut Sans’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Uncut Sans
Answered from its licence, Fontsource and each app’s own font list
Is Uncut Sans free for commercial use?
Yes. Uncut Sans 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 Uncut Sans?
FontKind doesn’t host Uncut Sans’s files: it isn’t on Google Fonts, and comes free from Fontsource , a library of open fonts. On its page there, choose Get font, then Download complete family, and unzip the file: it holds desktop fonts for every weight and style. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install. For a website, npm install @fontsource/uncut-sans adds it in one line.
Is Uncut Sans in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Uncut Sans 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 Uncut Sans Light and Uncut Sans 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 Uncut Sans in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and Uncut Sans comes from Fontsource. Docs can’t add a font of your own, so set it in an app on your computer, such as Word, instead.
Is Uncut Sans in Figma?
Not built in: Figma includes Google Fonts, and Uncut Sans comes from Fontsource. Install it on your computer and Figma lists it.
How many weights does Uncut Sans have?
Uncut Sans comes in five weights: Light (300), Regular (400), Medium (500), SemiBold (600) and Bold (700), each with an italic.
