Waiting for the Sunrise is a font you can install on a Mac.

About

Waiting for the Sunrise is a typeface available through Google Fonts. The supplied Homebrew cask installs one font file, WaitingfortheSunrise.ttf, in the current user’s ~/Library/Fonts folder. This package installs a font, not a standalone application.

  • The cask contains one TrueType font file; it does not install additional font files or styles.
  • To install it, run brew install --cask font-waiting-for-the-sunrise.
  • After installation, select “Waiting for the Sunrise” from the font menu in an application that supports user-installed fonts.

The included file establishes which font artifact is installed, but does not establish full Unicode coverage or support for ligatures. See the Google Fonts specimen page.
