  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?

  Those triangular serifs remind me of Ming script fonts.[0]Also the indentation in the code sample near the end is quite terrible[0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CJK_fonts#Ming

  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!

  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.

  > At Vercel, Geist Sans runs the product. For headlines, though, we wanted a second voice, one that belongs to the same system, instead of a stranger picked from a drop-down menu.I hate hate hate hate hate this verbiage. I can't tell if this is AI or the kind of insipid marketroid-speak that gave AI writing its distinctive grossness, but it makes me want to barf reading this slop, which is a shame because the font itself is nice.
