sudo unzip -d . /mnt/c/Users/admin/Downloads/Cantarell.zip

You can also install some of the fonts as packages on newer ubuntu (I'm on 18.04):
sudo apt install fonts-lato fonts-open-sans fonts-roboto fonts-mononoki
Hey! How do you figure out which of the fonts can be installed this way. I wanted to install the Inter Tight but sudo apt install fonts-inter-tight doesn't seem to work.
Thanks.

You can search the Debian Packages: https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages. For example, here is the search results for "fonts-inter": https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=fonts-inter. Usually, when you find a Debian package there will be an Ubuntu equivalent.
You can also search with the apt command itself.
$ apt-cache search fonts-inter
fonts-inter - Inter font family
fonts-inter-variable - Inter font family (VF)
