Literation Mono for Powerline is a font you can install on a Mac.

About

Literation Mono for Powerline is a monospaced typeface derived from the Liberation Fonts and patched with Powerline symbols. This Homebrew cask installs four TrueType font files, covering regular, bold, italic, and bold italic styles; it does not install a separate application.

The included files are:

  • Literation Mono Powerline.ttf — regular
  • Literation Mono Powerline Bold.ttf — bold
  • Literation Mono Powerline Italic.ttf — italic
  • Literation Mono Powerline Bold Italic.ttf — bold italic

To install, run brew install --cask font-liberation-mono-for-powerline. After installation, select the desired Literation Mono Powerline style from the font menu in a compatible application, such as a text editor or terminal. Installing the font makes it available to applications; it does not select it automatically.

The font project describes this typeface as intended for Powerline users. The listed files establish which styles this cask installs, but do not establish complete Unicode coverage or ligature support.
