Fallback while it loads
Until Vend Sans loads, this sets Arial in its place at 101.8% of its size, so running text keeps Vend Sans’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

Questions about Vend Sans
Answered from its licence, Google Fonts and each app’s own font list
Is Vend Sans free for commercial use?
Yes. Vend 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 Vend Sans?
FontKind doesn’t host Vend Sans’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds two variable files, one for the uprights and one for the italics, 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 Vend Sans in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Vend 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 Vend Sans Light and Vend 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 Vend Sans in Google Docs?
Most likely. Search for Vend Sans under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.
Is Vend Sans in Figma?
Yes: Vend Sans is in Figma’s font menu with all five weights and their italics, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.

Vend Sans comes in five weights: Light (300), Regular (400), Medium (500), SemiBold (600) and Bold (700), each with an italic. It is a variable font: it takes any weight from 300 to 700.
