Timeline (last 90 days)
Vercel released Geist Serif, a new member of the Geist font family, positioned as a display serif typeface.
The Geist font family currently includes four members: Geist Mono, Geist Sans, Geist Pixel and Geist Serif.
Geist Serif was initially sketched by Evil Rabbit, expanded by Andrés Briganti, and taken over for final drawing by Mark Davis.
The first version of Geist Serif contains only one weight, Regular, and the team plans to later expand it into a variable font covering Thin (100) to Black (900).
Geist Serif has a variable axis called Element Shape (ELSH), offering four dot shape variants: Round, Square, Triangle and Heart.
Geist Serif currently contains 894 glyphs, 5 stylistic sets (ss01-ss05), and supports 352 Latin-script languages.
Geist Serif shares the same cap height (710) and x-height (530) with Geist Sans, with a UPM of 1000, so it can be swapped in directly without changing line layout.
Geist Serif's Ascender is 750 and Descender is -200; Geist Sans's are 710 and -150 respectively.
Geist Serif can be installed via the npm package `geist`, and provides separate CSS variable entry points (such as --font-geist-serif) for on-demand bundling.
The team processed more than 52,000 kerning pairs to calibrate Geist Serif's spacing.
