About

Paper Mono is a monospace font for design and code. This Homebrew cask installs font files; it does not install an application.

The installed files include a variable-font TTF named PaperMono[wght].ttf and eight OTF files for individual weights: Thin, ExtraLight, Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold, Bold, and ExtraBold. After installation, select Paper Mono as the font in a compatible application, such as a code editor or terminal, to use it.

Install with Homebrew Cask:

brew install --cask font-paper-mono

The project describes Paper Mono as a monospace font intended for design and code. The cask places the font files in the user's ~/Library/Fonts directory. The available files establish which font styles this cask installs; they do not establish full Unicode coverage or ligature support.
