About Geist Mono

Geist Mono is a monospaced sans serif in which every character occupies the same width. The specimen shows the details that keep look-alike characters apart in code: a zero crossed by a diagonal slash, an i that stands on a flat base bar, and an l that ends in a curved foot. Strokes are even and the curves close to round. The family is delivered as two variable fonts, roman and italic, each with a weight axis from 100 to 900; nine named weights from Thin to Black give 18 styles. Its 1,157 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended, Cyrillic and Vietnamese, along with a symbols subset. Geist Mono shares its project with the proportional Geist sans. The credits list Andrés Briganti, Mateo Zaragoza, Guillermo Rauch, Evil Rabbit, José Rago and Facundo Santana, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Geist Mono works

Code editors and terminals

Fixed character width keeps indentation aligned, and the slashed zero and footed l separate 0 from O and l from 1.

Code samples in documentation

Roman and italic styles let comments or placeholders be set apart from the code around them.

Logs and numeric columns

Every digit has the same width, so timestamps, IDs and amounts line up row by row.

Labels beside the Geist sans

Geist Mono comes from the same project as Geist, so keyboard shortcuts and version tags sit next to interface text in a related design.

Syntax themes with weight contrast

Nine weights from 100 to 900 allow keywords to be set heavier than surrounding code without leaving the family.
