Times new roman ousts calibri the secretary of state called it a wasteful diversity move, according to an internal department cable seen by reuters. Secretary of state marco rubio has reversed former secretary of state antony j Blinken's decision to use calibri as the state department's official communications font. Calibri was designed by type designer lucas de groot in 2004 and published in 2007 as one of the typefaces in the microsoft cleartype font collection Like the other cleartype typefaces, calibri was aimed squarely at making reading long texts easier on a screen, although it also works well in print. Calibri (ms) contains 6 styles and family package options
When microsoft announced in 2007 that calibri would replace the venerable times new roman as the default font across its office suite, it marked a major shift in digital typography Since then, calibri has grown to become arguably the most widely used typeface in the world. De groot described calibri’s softly round design as having “a gentle and warm appearance.” calibri can be found as part of windows vista’s clear type font collection, an assortment of fonts by various designers that was released along with calibri.
