About
Frank Ruhl Libre is a typeface available through Google Fonts. The Homebrew cask installs one font file, FrankRuhlLibre[wght]., in the current user’s ~/ folder. The supplied file name indicates a variable-weight font; the cask does not install separate files for individual styles.
To install it, run brew install --cask font-frank-ruhl-libre. After installation, select Frank Ruhl Libre from the font menu in an application that supports installed fonts. Installing this cask adds a font file, not a separate application.
The available evidence identifies the font and its downloadable file but does not specify language coverage, particular weight ranges, or application-specific capabilities. See the Google Fonts specimen page for the typeface.
