![](.images/hero.png) # Geist Sans & Geist Mono Geist is a new font family created by [Vercel](https://vercel.com/design) in collaboration with [Basement Studio](https://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. ### Installation ```sh npm install geist ``` ### Using with Next.js `GeistSans` is exported from `geist/font/sans`, and `GeistMono` can be found in `geist/font/mono`. Both are `NextFontWithVariable` instances. You can learn more by [reading the `next/font` docs](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/optimizing/fonts). #### App Router In `app/layout.js`: ```jsx import { GeistSans } from "geist/font/sans"; export default function RootLayout({ children, }) { return ( {children} ) } ``` #### Pages Router In `pages/_app.js`: ```jsx import { GeistSans } from "geist/font/sans"; export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) { return (

) } ``` If you're using a version of Next.js that's older than 15, then in `next.config.js` or `next.config.mjs` add: ```diff js /** @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 `GeistSans` and `GeistMono` can be used through a CSS variable. - `GeistSans`: `--font-geist-sans` - `GeistMono`: `--font-geist-mono` In `app/layout.js`: ```jsx import { GeistSans } from 'geist/font/sans' import { GeistMono } from 'geist/font/mono' export default function RootLayout({ children, }) { return ( {children} ) } ``` Then in `tailwind.config.js`: ```javascript module.exports = { theme: { extend: { fontFamily: { sans: ['var(--font-geist-sans)'], mono: ['var(--font-geist-mono)'], }, }, }, } ``` ### License The Geist font family is free and open sourced under the [SIL Open Font License](./LICENSE.TXT). ### Inspiration Geist has been influenced and inspired by the following typefaces: [Inter](https://rsms.me/inter), [Univers](https://www.linotype.com/1567/univers-family.html), [SF Mono](https://developer.apple.com/fonts/), [SF Pro](https://developer.apple.com/fonts/), [Suisse International](https://www.swisstypefaces.com/fonts/suisse/), [ABC Diatype Mono](https://abcdinamo.com/typefaces/diatype), and [ABC Diatype](https://abcdinamo.com/typefaces/diatype). We thank the creators of these typefaces for their craft.
