About
PT Astra Sans is a sans-serif font family. The Homebrew cask installs four font files: regular, italic, bold, and bold italic. These are the specific styles included by this cask; it does not install additional family variants.
To install, run brew install --cask font-pt-astra-sans. After installation, select PT Astra Sans and the desired style in an application that supports choosing installed fonts. This package installs fonts, not a separate application.
The available source describes the font family but does not provide details about Unicode coverage or ligature support.
