Gist FONT Download

Gist was designed by Ryan Martinson and published by Yellow Design Studio. Gist contains 20 styles and family package options.  

Gist from Yellow Design Studio is an inline slab serif with a retro yet modern vibe. It's a collision between monoline slab and indie script. With 627 glyphs per weight, it's highly customizable...either keep it simple with the base character set or use ligatures, alternates and swashes for extra flair. All-caps typesettings have an especially retro edge. Line layers are included for adding color to the inline areas. As a bonus, try Gist Light for free!

Also available: Gist Rough, the textured letterpress version.
