IBM Plex Sans
About IBM Plex Sans
IBM Plex Sans is the humanist sans-serif cornerstone of IBM's custom Plex type system, designed by Mike Abbink to embody the brand's balance between engineering rationality and human warmth. Subtle nods to the corporate typewriter tradition appear in characters like the 'i' and 'l', giving it a distinctly technical character that feels at home in developer tools, enterprise software, and technical documentation. The variable font spans weight and width axes, and its broad script support — including Cyrillic, Greek, and Vietnamese — suits IBM's global communication needs.
