What is known about the logo
Genshin Impact is an action role-playing game by miHoYo, released on 28 September 2020. Wikipedia describes the official English logo: the name is set in capitals, with a crown-like ornament above the letters N to H and claw-like shapes on the E and I. The article does not name a typeface or a logo designer.

Cinzel

Regular · Latin specimen
Classical Roman capitals with flared serifs, very close in mood to the GENSHIN wordmark. Its lowercase letters are small capitals, so you can mix tall and short capitals like the logo; it has no true lowercase.

Libre Baskerville

Regular · Latin specimen
A sturdy serif with a regular, italic and bold, for longer fantasy-style text. It has sharper, more bookish serifs than the logo and is not built for all-caps titles.

Noto Sans

Regular · Latin specimen
A clear, plain sans with Chinese, Japanese and Korean companions in the Noto family, good for UI-style labels. It is a mood match for the in-game text, not a copy of it.
View fontThe in-game font, according to fans
The fan-run Genshin Impact Wiki says the main in-game font is a version of HYWenHei-85W, an extra-bold Chinese typeface from Hanyi Fonts, modified by miHoYo. It says the Latin and Cyrillic letters come from a separate design, not from HYWenHei. It adds that Chinese glyphs outside the Hanyi style come from Microsoft YaHei Bold, and most Korean letters from Nanum Gothic ExtraBold. The wiki cites no statement from miHoYo, so treat this as a commonly cited match, not a confirmed answer.
Evidence for this attribution ↓About Hanyi Fonts
Hanyi Fonts, officially Beijing Hanyi Innovation Technology, was founded in Beijing in 1993. It designs and develops typefaces, licenses fonts and makes custom typefaces for brands. Its own site lists a custom typeface for Tencent's game Peacekeeper Elite, but it does not mention Genshin Impact.
Evidence for this attribution ↓How to get the look
The logo uses Roman serif capitals with flared ends, a large G and S, and smaller capitals in between. Cinzel gives you that look for free, because its lowercase letters are small capitals. Set IMPACT below in the same font, small and widely spaced. For in-game style labels and buttons, use a bold, plain sans such as Noto Sans.
Common questions
Is the Genshin Impact font free?
No official Genshin font has been released. HYWenHei-85W, the font fans cite as the base of the in-game text, is a Hanyi Fonts typeface; check Hanyi's licence terms before use. Cinzel is a free choice for the logo look.
What font is the Genshin Impact logo?
No reliable source names one. The logo uses flared serif capitals with a crown-like ornament above part of the name. It may be drawn lettering, but that is not confirmed either.
What font does Genshin Impact use in game?
The fan-run Genshin Impact Wiki says it is a miHoYo-modified version of Hanyi's HYWenHei-85W, with a separate Latin alphabet. miHoYo has not confirmed this.
