Asta Sans is a font you can install on a Mac.

About

Asta Sans is a font available through Google Fonts. This Homebrew cask installs one font file, AstaSans[wght].ttf, in the current user's ~/Library/Fonts directory. The file name indicates a variable-font file; the cask does not list separate style files.

To install it with Homebrew, run brew install --cask font-asta-sans. After installation, select Asta Sans in the font menu of an application that supports custom fonts. Installing this cask adds a font file; it does not install a separate application.

The installed file establishes which font artifact is included, but does not by itself establish full Unicode coverage or ligature support.
