About

IBM Plex Sans KR is the Korean-language sans-serif font package in the IBM Plex family. This Homebrew cask installs font files, not a standalone application, and places them in the user’s Fonts folder.

Included styles are Thin, ExtraLight, Light, Medium, Regular, SemiBold, Text, and Bold. The package supplies these as eight separate OTF files; it does not install other IBM Plex families or language variants.

To install, run brew install --cask font-ibm-plex-sans-kr. After installation, choose the installed IBM Plex Sans KR style by name in an application that supports selecting system fonts, such as a document editor or design tool. Availability in an application depends on its font-selection support.

The IBM Plex project describes its typeface family as designed for user-interface environments and other media, and identifies Korean as one of the scripts supported by IBM Plex Sans. That general family information does not establish the complete character coverage of this specific package. The listed OTF styles also do not establish support for particular ligatures.
