About

Abyssinica SIL is a font family listed on Google Fonts. The Homebrew cask installs one file: AbyssinicaSIL-Regular.ttf, a regular-style font. It does not install a separate application.

To install it, run brew install --cask font-abyssinica-sil. After installation, select Abyssinica SIL in the font settings of an application that supports custom fonts. The installed file is the regular style; the cask does not install additional styles. The supplied product information does not establish the font’s character coverage or support for particular writing systems or typographic features.
