About

Sometype Mono is a monospaced font family designed by Ryoichi Tsunekawa for coding and tabular layouts. The official site describes it as free for commercial use and licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

This cask installs six OTF files: Regular, Italic, Medium, Medium Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic. These are the specific styles included here; the cask does not install the font’s other formats or source files. The font’s sample material highlights distinctions between easily confused characters, including zero and O, I, l and 1, and several numerals and punctuation marks.

Install with brew install --cask font-sometype-mono. After installation, select the Sometype Mono style you want in a compatible application’s font settings. For coding, choose it in an editor or terminal that supports custom fonts; installing the font does not install an application.

The website describes the family as having six styles, matching the files installed by this cask. The supplied font files establish which styles are included, but do not establish complete Unicode coverage or ligature support. See the official Sometype Mono site for the family description and license information.
