IBM Plex Serif
IBM Plex Serif - Mike Abbink & Bold Monday
Designers Note
IBM Plex Serif is a modern serif typeface designed by Mike Abbink for IBM. It combines classic elegance with contemporary clarity, making it ideal for both print and digital use. With a range of weights and styles, it offers versatility for various design needs. The font features clean lines, open letterforms, and subtle geometric touches, ensuring readability and visual harmony across different platforms and sizes.
IBM Plex® is the corporate typeface for IBM worldwide and an open-source project developed by the IBM Brand & Experience team (BX&D). Plex is an international typeface family designed to capture IBM’s brand spirit and history and to illustrate the unique relationship between mankind and machine—a principal theme for IBM since the turn of the century. The result is a neutral yet friendly Grotesque style typeface that balances design with the engineered details that make Plex distinctly IBM. The family includes a Sans, Sans Condensed, Mono, and Serif and has excellent legibility in print, web, and mobile interfaces.
Plex’s three designs work well independently and even better together. Use the Sans as a contemporary compadre, the Serif for editorial storytelling, or the Mono to show code snippets. The unexpectedly expressive nature of the italics gives you even more options for your designs. Currently, IBM Plex Sans supports Extended Latin, Arabic, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean and Thai.
