About
Baloo Thambi 2 is a typeface available through Google Fonts. The supplied Homebrew cask installs one font file, BalooThambi2[wght]., in the user's ~/ folder. The file is a variable-font artifact; this installation does not include separate static font files.
To install it, run brew install --cask font-baloo-thambi-2. Then select Baloo Thambi 2 from the font menu in an application that supports installed fonts. Installing this cask adds a font; it does not install a separate application.
The cask evidence identifies the font file but does not establish its full glyph coverage, supported languages, or application-specific behavior. Those details should not be inferred from the file name or from the fact that it is listed on Google Fonts.
