About DM Serif Text Fonts

DM Serif Text is a lower-contrast counterpart to the high-contrast DM Serif Display. While the serifs remain delicate, the DM Serif Text family is a more robust variant of the Display sibling, intended for smaller sub-headings and text sizes.

DM Serif Text supports a Latin Extended glyph set, enabling typesetting for English and other Western European languages. It was designed by Colophon Foundry (UK), that started from the Latin portion of Adobe Source Serif 4, by Frank Grießhammer et al.
