4. Click on the “download” icon:
   
5. A zip file will be downloaded to your computer.
6. Importantly, you need to open the zip file and extract the contained file(s).

How to install a new font on Windows computers:

Right-click on the font file and click “Install”.

How to install a new font on Mac computers:

Double-click on your font file and “Font Book” will open a preview of the font.

Click “Install Font” at the bottom of the preview.

Alternative method:

You can also use SkyFonts to install Google Fonts on your computer.

During the installation process, look for the option to only use Google Fonts (so you don’t need to register for an account).
