About
IBM Plex Sans Devanagari is the Devanagari-script member of the IBM Plex typeface family. The supplied Homebrew cask installs font files, not an application.
- Includes eight OTF files: Thin, ExtraLight, Light, Medium, Regular, SemiBold, Text, and Bold.
- The IBM Plex project describes its typeface as designed for user interfaces and other media, and lists Devanagari among the scripts supported by IBM Plex Sans.
- The project identifies IBM Plex as an open-source typeface available under the Open Font License (OFL).
Install the font files with brew install --cask font-ibm-plex-sans-devanagari. After installation, select the actual IBM Plex Sans Devanagari font in an application that supports custom fonts, such as a design or document app. Installing the files does not install or launch an app. This cask installs the eight named styles; it does not establish that the family includes other variants or that the files provide complete Unicode coverage or any particular typographic behavior.
