Literation Nerd Fonts is a font you can install on a Mac.
About
Literation Nerd Fonts are patched fonts based on the Literation family. This cask installs the Literation Mono, Sans, and Serif font files listed for the package. The files include regular, italic, bold, and bold-italic styles, with available styles and Mono or Propo variants differing by face.
Nerd Fonts patches developer-targeted fonts with additional glyphs. Its project documentation describes glyph collections including Font Awesome, Material Design Icons, Octicons, and Powerline symbols. Nerd Fonts distinguishes monospaced and proportional versions of its glyphs; that designation does not necessarily describe the font as a whole.
Install with Homebrew:
brew install --cask font-liberation-nerd-font
After installation, select the desired Literation Nerd Font face in a compatible application’s font settings. This cask installs font files, not an application, and its installed set is limited to the files listed for this cask.
