Geist

The word "Geist" written as ASCII art using triangular patterns. Below are three font specimens: Sans - A modern sans-serif typeface showing the alphabet in uppercase and lowercase, numbers, and symbols including punctuation and special characters. Mono - A monospaced typeface displaying the same character set with fixed-width spacing ideal for coding. Pixel - A pixelated bitmap-style typeface showing the complete alphabet, numbers, and symbols with a retro digital aesthetic. At the bottom are five icons representing different geometric patterns or grid styles. The word "Geist" written as ASCII art using triangular patterns.

Geist Sans, Geist Mono & Geist Pixel

Geist is a new font family for Vercel, created by Vercel in collaboration with Basement Studio and Andrés Briganti.

Geist Sans is a sans-serif typeface designed for legibility and simplicity. It is a modern, geometric typeface that is based on the principles of classic Swiss typography. It is designed to be used in headlines, logos, posters, and other large display sizes.

Geist Mono is a monospaced typeface that has been crafted to be the perfect partner to Geist Sans. It is designed to be used in code editors, diagrams, terminals, and other textbased interfaces where code is represented.

Geist Pixel is a pixel typeface designed to complement the Geist font family, built on the same principles of minimalism, precision, and simplicity that define the universe. Conceived as a display font, it pays homage to the pixel font genre while expressing the brand’s future-forward, visionary spirit, and is available in five stylistic variants for a wide range of applications.
