About
Waiting for the Sunrise is a typeface available through Google Fonts. The supplied Homebrew cask installs one font file, WaitingfortheSunrise., in the current user’s ~/ 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.
