Geist Sans

Alternate sans serif with nine weights, real italics, and variable weight control.

Geist Sans is an alternate sans serif. Makira remains the default sans; load Geist Sans separately when its voice fits the project. For serif typography, use Geist Serif. Its CSS family names remain "Geist" and "Geist Variable".

Preview

Try a continuous weight from 100 to 900, and switch between normal and italic.

Usage

.interface {
  font-family: "Geist", system-ui, sans-serif;
  font-weight: 400;
  font-synthesis: none;

.interface em { font-style: italic; }
.continuous-weight {
  font-family: "Geist Variable", system-ui, sans-serif;
  font-weight: 450;
}

Details

All 58 supplied version 1.900 files are hosted without changing their bytes: 18 static faces in each of three formats, plus four variable files. The stylesheet uses WOFF2. The webfonts directory is normalized to woff2; variable files use Geist-Variable and Geist-Italic-Variable filenames.

Use the static family for named weights, or the separate variable family for intermediate values. Both provide real italics. This alternate stays outside the combined standard stylesheet.

Reference

Family metadata records every supplied filename, published path, checksum, version, weight, style, axis, and inspected OpenType tags. Use fonts.geist in the live catalog for installation snippets and current files.
