About IBM Plex Serif

Mike Abbink's IBM Plex Serif occupies the serif position in IBM's corporate type system, drawing on the transitional serif tradition — particularly the rational geometry of eighteenth-century type designers — while incorporating the precision and consistency of a contemporary engineering culture. Seven weights with matching italics provide a full editorial range, and Cyrillic and Vietnamese support extend its reach for global corporate deployment. It performs excellently in long-form documentation, enterprise publishing, and digital editorial contexts where authoritative legibility is essential.
