About DM Sans

Colophon Foundry designed this low-contrast geometric sans-serif as a text-focused companion to the DM type system, with optical size and weight axes that let it adapt gracefully between small body copy and larger display sizes. Clean, unadorned letterforms prioritize clarity over personality, making it especially effective for minimal UI systems, SaaS products, and modern editorial layouts. The optical size axis is particularly well-implemented, visibly adjusting spacing and weight to suit the rendering context.
