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.

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

It obviously wrote the article so why not.

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?

A good part of it is simply license costs and obligations makes it attractive for certain kinds and sizes of businesses. But there are plenty good open source fonts now that could be used as a basis so that's not all of it.

The other is that people with an eye for design like fonts the way mushrooms like decaying wood. If you leave a designer unattended for too long fonts appear as if from nowhere.

Im not personally a fan of Geist, but its been around for years and it has been the default for create-next-app for a few years…

Previously it was every company that made a device, before that any company with a text-heavy app like a Word Processor. I think if you stare at fonts long enough and have a design team you eventually make your own.

Pretty stylish. Thumbs up.

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

I hoped it was too, with the sort of glitchy portfolio image and the words being “midnight, raven, etc”

> and it was drawn to communicate messages powerfully both in the physical world and

.. in the ethereal?

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

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