Positype · A font family installed with five weights: Light, Regular, Medium, Bold, and Black.
Zen Kaku Gothic New is a font you can install on a Mac.
About
Zen Kaku Gothic New is a font family available through Google Fonts. This Homebrew cask installs five TrueType font files in the current user's ~/ folder; it does not install a separate application.
The installed files provide these weights:
- Light
- Regular
- Medium
- Bold
- Black
Install it with brew install --cask font-zen-kaku-gothic-new. After installation, select the desired Zen Kaku Gothic New weight from the font menu in an application that supports user-installed fonts. The files are installed individually, so choose a weight available in the application rather than expecting the cask to add an application interface or font-selection controls.
The installed files establish which weights are included, but do not establish full Unicode coverage or support for typographic features such as ligatures.
