Kapakana is a font you can install on a Mac.

About

Kapakana is a font available through Google Fonts. The Homebrew cask installs one file, Kapakana[wght].ttf, in the user’s Library/Fonts directory. This entry covers that font file only; it does not install a separate application.

  • The cask’s listed artifact is a TrueType font file.
  • The filename uses [wght], indicating a variable-font file; the supplied information does not specify its supported weight range or other axes.
  • The cask lists one font file, so it does not establish that other styles or variants are installed.

Install it with brew install --cask font-kapakana. After installation, select Kapakana from the font menu in an application that supports custom fonts. Choose it in an editor or terminal only if it suits the text and layout you need.

A font file alone does not establish full Unicode coverage, ligature support, or compatibility with every application. Google Fonts: Kapakana
