About

Noto Sans CJK SC is the Simplified Chinese variant of the Noto Sans CJK family. This Homebrew cask installs seven static OpenType font files: Thin, Light, DemiLight, Regular, Medium, Bold, and Black. It installs fonts, not a standalone application.

After installation, select the desired Noto Sans CJK SC weight in your editor, design software, or terminal’s font settings. This cask provides these specific weight files; it does not install the family’s other language variants, variable fonts, or other deployment formats.

Install with:

brew install --cask font-noto-sans-cjk-sc

See the project’s Noto Sans CJK guide for information about the font family and its other formats.
