Geist Sans, Geist Mono & Geist Pixel

Geist is a new font family created by Vercel in collaboration with Basement Studio.

Geist Sans is a sans-serif typeface designed for legibility and simplicity. It is modern, geometric, and based on the principles of classic Swiss typography. It is designed to be used in body copy, headlines, logos, posters, and other large display sizes.

Geist Mono is a monospaced typeface, crafted to be the perfect partner to Geist Sans. It is designed to be used in code editors, diagrams, terminals, and other text-based interfaces where code is rendered.

Geist Pixel is a display typeface family featuring five unique pixel-based variants, each with a distinct visual style. It is designed for decorative use in headlines, logos, and other display contexts where a pixelated aesthetic is desired.

Installation

npm install geist

Using with Next.js

GeistSans is exported from geist/font/sans, GeistMono can be found in geist/font/mono, and Geist Pixel variants are available from geist/font/pixel. All are NextFontWithVariable instances. You can learn more by reading the next/font docs.

Geist Pixel Variants

Geist Pixel includes five distinct variants, each exported separately:

Export	CSS Variable	Description
`GeistPixelSquare`	`--font-geist-pixel-square`	Square pixel shapes
`GeistPixelGrid`	`--font-geist-pixel-grid`	Grid-based pixel pattern
`GeistPixelCircle`	`--font-geist-pixel-circle`	Circular pixel shapes
`GeistPixelTriangle`	`--font-geist-pixel-triangle`	Triangular pixel shapes
`GeistPixelLine`	`--font-geist-pixel-line`	Line-based pixel pattern

import {
  GeistPixelSquare,
  GeistPixelGrid,
  GeistPixelCircle,
  GeistPixelTriangle,
  GeistPixelLine,
} from "geist/font/pixel";

App Router

In app/layout.js:

import { GeistSans } from "geist/font/sans";

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en" className={GeistSans.className}>
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  );
}

Pages Router

In pages/_app.js:

import { GeistSans } from "geist/font/sans";

export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return (
    <main className={GeistSans.className}>
      <Component {...pageProps} />
    </main>
  );
}

If you're using a version of Next.js that's older than 15, then in next.config.js or next.config.mjs add:

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  reactStrictMode: true,
+  transpilePackages: ["geist"],
};

export default nextConfig;

This is required to fix errors like:

TypeError: next_font_local__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_0___default(...) is not a function
SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

With Tailwind CSS

All Geist fonts can be used through CSS variables.

GeistSans: --font-geist-sans
GeistMono: --font-geist-mono
GeistPixelSquare: --font-geist-pixel-square
GeistPixelGrid: --font-geist-pixel-grid
GeistPixelCircle: --font-geist-pixel-circle
GeistPixelTriangle: --font-geist-pixel-triangle
GeistPixelLine: --font-geist-pixel-line

In app/layout.js:

import { GeistSans } from "geist/font/sans";
import { GeistMono } from "geist/font/mono";
import { GeistPixelSquare } from "geist/font/pixel";

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html
      lang="en"
      className={`${GeistSans.variable} ${GeistMono.variable} ${GeistPixelSquare.variable}`}
    >
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  );
}

Tailwind CSS V4

Then in tailwind.css:

@theme {
  /* rest of your theme config */

  --font-pixel-triangle: var(--font-geist-pixel-triangle);
  --font-pixel-line: var(--font-geist-pixel-line);

  /* rest of your theme config */
}

Tailwind CSS V3

Then in tailwind.config.js:

module.exports = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      fontFamily: {
        sans: ["var(--font-geist-sans)"],
        mono: ["var(--font-geist-mono)"],
        "pixel-square": ["var(--font-geist-pixel-square)"],
        "pixel-grid": ["var(--font-geist-pixel-grid)"],
        "pixel-circle": ["var(--font-geist-pixel-circle)"],
        "pixel-triangle": ["var(--font-geist-pixel-triangle)"],
