DM Serif Display is a high-contrast transitional face. With delicate serifs and fine detailing, the design has been shaped for use in super-sized poster settings. It is accompanied by DM Serif Text, for use in smaller point ranges.
DM Serif Display 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 Pro, by Frank Grießhammer.
The DM Serif project was commissoned by Google from Colophon, an international and award-winning type foundry based in London (UK) and Los Angeles (US) who publish and distribute high-quality retail and custom typefaces for analog and digital media. To contribute, see github.com/googlefonts/dm-fonts
