Eben Sorkin · A sans-serif font family installed with regular and italic variable font files.
Merriweather Sans is a font you can install on a Mac.
About
Merriweather Sans is a sans-serif font family available through this Homebrew cask. The cask installs two font files: MerriweatherSans[wght]. and MerriweatherSans-Italic[wght].. Their [wght] names identify variable-weight font files; the installed set includes upright and italic styles.
To install the fonts, run:
brew install --cask font-merriweather-sans
After installation, select Merriweather Sans or its italic style from the font menu in an application that supports installed fonts. This cask installs fonts, not a separate application. The available evidence establishes which font files are included, but does not specify Unicode coverage or ligature support.
