About
Alegreya Sans is a humanist sans-serif typeface family with a calligraphic character. The family is described as designed for a varied reading rhythm, including in long text. The Homebrew cask installs a selection of OpenType font files, not a separate application.
The installed files include regular and italic styles at multiple weights, from Thin to Black, along with small-caps styles (AlegreyaSansSC). The full installed set also includes small-caps italic files. The family documentation describes support for Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic character sets and OpenType features such as small caps, ligatures, fractions, several figure styles, superscripts, and subscripts; availability of characters and features can depend on the specific font file and the application.
Install with brew install --cask font-alegreya-sans. After installation, select the actual Alegreya Sans font style you want in a font-aware application, such as a word processor or design tool. The cask installs specific font files; it does not install every possible family variant.
