Use Waiting for the Sunrise on your website

Copy the CSS below. Option B needs the font files uploaded to a fonts/ folder on your own server first.

Option A: use the font directly from Fonts1 (no upload needed)

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Waiting for the Sunrise';
  src: url('https://files.fonts1.com/fonts1/fonts/3041/40a2b0d7c1-waitingforthesunrise.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

Quickest way to try it. For a busy production site, Option B (your own server) is more reliable.

Option B: self-host (download, then upload to your server)

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Waiting for the Sunrise';
  src: url('fonts/WaitingfortheSunrise.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

2. Apply it

body {
  font-family: 'Waiting for the Sunrise', sans-serif;
}

Fonts that pair well with Waiting for the Sunrise

Good design mixes two or three fonts. These are picked from a different style (a clean sans next to a script, a serif next to a sans) so they stay easy to tell apart and cover the same language.
