The US State Department only just directed its employees to use Calibri for memos earlier this year. The State Department had been using Times New Roman instead since 2004.
Lmao
Honestly, they have probably kept times new Roman for other things, as a serif font it’s much harder to make the mistake between a capital I and a lower case l.
Ambiguity can cause problems.
At the same time, I agree, lmao.
Looks like a return to Arial to me!
Meanwhile professors still be requiring essays done in Times New Roman, and all actual documents are done in the default because as long as its legible it doesn’t matter.
Oh except for a court case in 2044 when a lawyer notices “Aha! This document is dated from 2020 but the Aptos font wasn’t introduced until 2023, this document is forged!” Yes I can cite precedent, Your Honor; something similar happened with Callibri, introduced circa 2007.

A font I strongly dislike. Particularly in any electronic media it just looks unsightly to me for some reason I have never been able to articulate. I do tend to like sans-serif fonts more in general, but I don’t think that’s entirely it.
I hope to never return to an environment where someone is going to complain about just using Arial or similar.
