What the brand portal says
Daimler Truck's design portal has a page on the Mercedes-Benz brand design. It says that Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Mercedes-Benz Buses use the exclusive fonts Mercedes-Benz Corpo, named MB Corpo S and MB Corpo A, in their product communication. They do this under licence from Mercedes-Benz Group AG. The page adds that the font families are copyright-protected and reserved for exclusive use by the licensed companies and their authorised dealers and service centres.

Inter

Regular · Latin specimen
A neutral, technical sans that suits the calm Mercedes-Benz style. It is a mood match: we could not compare it letter by letter with Corpo, which is not public.

IBM Plex Sans

Regular · Latin specimen
An engineered corporate sans with many weights, good for car and tech layouts. It has more distinctive details than a quiet luxury brand face, so use the lighter weights.

Regular · Latin specimen
A safe, widely available sans for interfaces and specs. It is plainer and more familiar than a custom brand face, so it reads as generic rather than premium.
View fontWho may use the fonts
The portal's terms of use allow Daimler Truck to pass the Corpo fonts to agencies and other outside partners, but only to fulfil orders for Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Mercedes-Benz Buses. The Daimler Buses typeface page goes further for its own brand: it uses Daimler CS and says MB Corpo A and MB Corpo S are reserved only for Mercedes-Benz branded topics.
Evidence for this attribution ↓How to get the look
Mercedes-Benz type is calm and technical: a clean sans for most text, plenty of white space, and black, white and silver tones. Inter or IBM Plex Sans in Regular and Light give a similar quiet, engineered feel. Set headlines large with modest weight rather than heavy bold. Treat these as mood matches; Corpo itself is not public, so no free font copies it exactly. Do not use the star logo; it is a trademark.
Common questions
Can I download the Mercedes-Benz font?
No. MB Corpo A and MB Corpo S are exclusive to Mercedes-Benz and its licensed partners. The brand portal only allows sharing with agencies doing Mercedes-Benz work. Use a free sans such as Inter for a similar feel.
What is the difference between MB Corpo A and MB Corpo S?
They are the two families of the Mercedes-Benz Corpo system. The public portal pages we checked name both but do not describe how they differ, so we have not guessed.
Do Mercedes-Benz trucks and buses use the same font?
Yes. Daimler Truck says Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Mercedes-Benz Buses use MB Corpo under licence from Mercedes-Benz Group AG. Daimler Buses, by contrast, uses Daimler CS.
