About
UbuntuSans Nerd Font families (Ubuntu Sans) is a font package from Nerd Fonts, which patches fonts with additional glyphs. This Homebrew cask installs Ubuntu Sans Nerd Font files; it is not an application.
The package includes proportional (Propo), monospaced (Mono), and mono (Mono in the filename’s NerdFontMono form) glyph variants. The installed files cover regular, medium, semibold, and bold weights, with italic styles where provided. These are the specific files installed by this cask, not a guarantee that every possible style in the font family is included. Nerd Fonts describes its project as adding glyphs from icon collections to developer-targeted fonts; this does not establish complete Unicode coverage or ligature support for these files.
Install with Homebrew:
brew install --cask font-ubuntu-sans-nerd-font
After installation, select the installed Ubuntu Sans Nerd Font face in a compatible application’s font settings. For coding or terminal use, choose a monospaced variant if you want fixed-width text. Installing the cask adds font files; it does not install a separate app.
