After a year of anticipation, we are excited to introduce IBM Plex® Math. This highly anticipated release includes over 5,000 new glyphs, covering a wide range of mathematical symbols (such as alphanumeric, double-struck, Fraktur, operators, and script), icons, arrows, Greek letters, phonetics, technical and geometric shapes — making it one of the most complete math fonts available today. IBM Plex Math is a game-changer, providing a fresh and comprehensive alternative to STIX and Microsoft’s Cambria. Its compatibility with IBM Plex Serif Regular makes it an ideal choice for IBM researchers and mathematicians.

Hello @DianaStanciulescu & @Katie-A-IBM
need your kind attention on this ticket for us to take it further.

We are almost ready to release the Plex Math and will update you as soon as we are fully ready to release it.
It could be mostly by mid or end of week or 5th Aug 2024.
