About
Chiron Hei HK is a Hong Kong Chinese sans-serif typeface with modern forms. Its design revises selected glyphs from Source Han Sans Traditional Chinese, Hong Kong, aiming to balance standard glyph forms with shapes familiar in print. The project describes the typeface as suitable for screen display and printed material.
This Homebrew cask installs two variable OpenType files: ChironHeiHKVF. and ChironHeiHKItVF.. These are the specific artifacts installed by this cask; they are not a promise that every file or variant in the wider project is included. Chiron Hei HK is distinct from Chiron Sans HK and Chiron Sans HK Pro.
To install, run brew install --cask font-chiron-hei-hk. After installation, select Chiron Hei HK in the font menu of an application that supports installed fonts; this installs a font, not a separate app. The project identifies its license as SIL Open Font License 1.1.
