About
Playwrite FR Moderne is a typeface available from Google Fonts. The Homebrew cask installs one font file, PlaywriteFRModerne[wght]., in the current user’s ~/ folder. The installed file is a variable-weight font, as indicated by the [wght] axis in its filename.
To install it, run brew install --cask font-playwrite-fr-moderne. After installation, select Playwrite FR Moderne in the font menu of an application that supports installed fonts. This installs a font, not a standalone application; for coding or other monospaced-font use, select it only if it suits that purpose.
The cask’s listed artifact is this single font file. That confirms the installed file, but does not establish full Unicode coverage, ligature support, or availability of additional font variants.
