About the IBM Plex Serif font
IBM Plex Serif is a serif typeface designed by Mike Abbink and Bold Monday, first released to Google Fonts on March 2018. It ships with 7 weights · italic and is licenced under the SIL Open Font License, which permits commercial use in websites, apps, documents and print without attribution or payment.
Its measured character is a medium x-height at 74% of the cap height, normal letter forms and medium stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare IBM Plex Serif against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
