Google Fonts and Fontsource serve stripped builds — most OpenType features are removed. Self-hosting the original files is the only way to get the full feature set.

Download the font files from the website and serve them yourself:

Declare with @font-face
@font-face {
  font-family: "DM Serif Display";
  src: url("/fonts/dm-serif-display-text.woff2") format("woff2");
  font-display: swap;
}
