07 / Swap

Swap Workbench without a jump

Running text within 3% of the width, x-height within 5%

None of the fonts that look most like Workbench sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.

Fallback while it loads

Until Workbench loads, this sets Courier New in its place at 83.3% of its size, so running text keeps Workbench’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.

08 / Questions

Questions about Workbench

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

Is Workbench free for commercial use?

Yes. Workbench 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 Workbench?

FontKind doesn’t host Workbench’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 Workbench in Microsoft Word?

Not until you install it: Workbench 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 Workbench in Google Docs?

Most likely. Search for Workbench under More fonts in the font menu of Docs; added there, it is in Sheets and Slides too.

Is Workbench in Figma?

Yes: Workbench is in Figma’s font menu, in the browser and the desktop app, with nothing to install.

How many weights does Workbench have?

Workbench comes in one weight, Regular (400). It is a variable font, with two axes of its own. Ask for bold and most apps thicken the letters themselves: a faux bold, not a drawn one.
