About
Modern Antiqua is a typeface available from Google Fonts. This Homebrew cask installs the regular font file, ModernAntiqua-Regular., in the current user's ~/ folder; it does not install a separate application.
- The cask installs one font file:
ModernAntiqua-Regular..ttf - The installed file is the regular style; this cask does not provide other styles.
- To use the typeface, select Modern Antiqua in an application that lets you choose installed fonts. It is not specifically identified as a coding or monospaced font, so no editor or terminal use is implied.
Install with brew install --cask font-modern-antiqua. After installation, choose Modern Antiqua from the font selector in a compatible application.
