About
Zen Kaku Gothic Antique is a font family available through Homebrew. This cask installs five TrueType font files: Light, Regular, Medium, Bold, and Black. It installs fonts, not a separate application.
To install, run brew install --cask font-zen-kaku-gothic-antique. After installation, select the desired Zen Kaku Gothic Antique style from the font menu in an application that supports custom fonts. The installed files are placed in ~/.
The cask includes only the five listed styles; it does not install other family variants. The available source identifies the typeface by name but does not establish its full character coverage or support for typographic features such as ligatures.
