    Groan.

  • Feels very Halloween-y especially with that vampire N and the sharp serifs. Not a candidate for my rotation.
  • Those triangular serifs remind me of Ming script fonts.[0]

    Also the indentation in the code sample near the end is quite terrible

  • 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.
  • 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'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?
  • 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.
