Young Serif is a font you can install on a Mac.

About

Young Serif is a serif typeface offered through Google Fonts. The supplied Homebrew cask installs one font file: YoungSerif-Regular.ttf, targeting the current user's ~/Library/Fonts folder. This is a font installation, not a separate application.

To install it with Homebrew, run brew install --cask font-young-serif. After installation, select Young Serif in a compatible application that lets you choose fonts, such as a word processor or design tool. The cask installs the Regular font file only; it does not install other styles or variants. The available evidence does not specify Unicode coverage or ligature support.
