How were these alternatives chosen?
By measuring the letters, not by comparing names or tags. GT Cinetype was measured as grillitype.com draws it: its proportions, the width of every letter and figure, its weight, its stroke contrast and the shapes of telling letters like a, g, R and Q. The same measurements were taken of 1,506 free fonts, and these came closest. Each match was then checked by eye.
Will Geist change my layout?
Not if you use the CSS on this page. It sets Geist 0.6% smaller with a touch more letter-spacing, so text written for GT Cinetype keeps its x-height and its line lengths, and lines break in the same places.
