DM Serif Text
Google Fonts · Colophon Foundry · 2019
A refined text-optimised serif that brings classical elegance to body copy, designed as the readable counterpart to DM Serif Display.
About
DM Serif Text shares the design principles of DM Serif Display but is engineered for comfortable reading at smaller sizes, with modestly increased stroke weights on its fine elements to withstand rendering at text scales. Its classical proportions and moderate contrast give it a dignified, editorial quality suited to long-form digital publishing, editorial design, and branded content. It completes the DM family as a cohesive typographic system spanning display, text, sans, and mono styles.
Classification
DM Serif Text is a moderate-contrast serif designed for sustained reading at text sizes, with sturdier hairlines and slightly adjusted proportions compared to its display sibling. It maintains an elegant, classical structure while remaining practical for body-copy usage.
