About

Jim Nightshade is a typeface available through Google Fonts. This Homebrew cask installs the regular font file, JimNightshade-Regular.ttf, to ~/Library/Fonts; it does not install a separate application.

  • Includes the regular style as a TrueType font file.
  • The cask installs one font file, not a complete set of additional styles or variants.
  • To use it, select Jim Nightshade in the font menu of an application that supports installed fonts.

Install with brew install --cask font-jim-nightshade, then choose Jim Nightshade from the font selector in a compatible application. The Google Fonts specimen page provides the official typeface listing.
