About

African Sans is a font family distributed as four font files: regular, bold, italic, and bold italic. The available files are African Sans REGULAR 938.ttf, African Sans BOLD 938.ttf, African Sans ITALIC 938.ttf, and African Sans BOLD ITALIC 938.ttf. These filenames identify the included styles; they do not establish language coverage or other font capabilities.

Install it with Homebrew Cask:

brew install --cask font-african-sans

This installs font files, not a separate application. After installation, select African Sans—and the desired style—in a compatible application’s font menu to use it. The exact steps for choosing a font depend on the application.
