Font Name (Geist Sans/Geist Mono):

  • Geist Sans
  • Geist Mono

Description of the Issue:
Some glyph pairs are still unsightly in body copy or simply inconsistently spaced; here are some examples I was able to gather at first glance:

Garden: ‘Ga’ too tight
Zanzibar: ‘nz’ too tight
Ininiky: ‘i’ not centered between two ‘n’; ‘ky’ too loose
Oink/Dingy/Qis: ‘Oi’/‘Di’/‘Qi’ too tight
Herxheimer/Mixer/Waxy: loose in front of ‘x’; ‘xy’
jifiltify: ‘ifi’ inconsistent
Zauberflöte/Zaubertröte: ‘rf’ loose
Waffel: ‘Waf’ inconsistent
81814747873752109746281/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/0/: ‘74’ loose; numbers between slashes inconsistent

With a few adjustments to spacing, Geist Sans could be elevated to a highly professional typeface—I really appreciate the development.

Refer to Kern King (https://pangrampangram.com/blogs/journal2/kern-king-is-dead-long-live-kern-king-the-great-template-for-kerning-types) and Basic Kerning Text (http://www.as8.it/type/basic_kerning_text.html) to identify problematic pairings beyond my quick look.
