Geist Serif

I like it. I'm not generally that enthusiastic about these corporate fonts (though I know why they do it) but it's good to see some strong opinions in the serifs. It's so much better than the exaggerated anachronistic ink traps that has become such a visual cliche of the 2020s internet.

I'm into typography and I like trying out new fonts, but what's with the sudden flood of everyone making their own lately? I remember how novel and interesting it was a few years ago when, like, JetBrains Mono came out. Now it's like every code-adjacent company has their own. Is AI particularly good at font design or something?

Outside-the-box big brain idea for font webpages with walls of gibberish: Make the font for the gibberish the font.

Sad that “crafted by hand” immediately makes me think Claude made it.

I use Geist Sans and Mono for almost all of my projects. I'm looking forward to Fontsource/Google Fonts adding Serif to the repository.

Okay, the special dot choices are pretty pretttttty nify!

This font renders like trash on my 9 year old widescreen, but I am sure it will look gorgeous on a MBP display. Guess I found my excuse to upgrade!

Groan.

Feels very Halloween-y especially with that vampire N and the sharp serifs. Not a candidate for my rotation.

Sans-serif for body, serif for headlines? Unconventional choice.

Very hard to read in small sizes. It mushes together to a big mud ball for my eyes. Large is nice.

The letterforms look good, but why is the kerning so off? It looks omitted in the graphics.

Pretty stylish. Thumbs up.
