Cactus Classical Serif is a font you can install on a Mac.

About

Cactus Classical Serif is a serif typeface distributed through Google Fonts. The supplied Homebrew cask installs one font file: CactusClassicalSerif-Regular.ttf, in the user’s ~/Library/Fonts folder.

  • Family: Cactus Classical Serif.
  • Installed style: Regular, as identified by the installed font file.
  • Format: TrueType font (.ttf).
  • Use: After installation, select Cactus Classical Serif in an application that lets you choose fonts. This installs a font, not a separate application.

To install it with Homebrew, run brew install --cask font-cactus-classical-serif. Once installed, choose the font in the application where you want to use it; restart or refresh that application if the font is not immediately available.

The cask installs the Regular font file only. Its presence does not establish the typeface’s full character coverage or support for typographic features such as ligatures.
