It’s the first change to the Office default font in more than 15 years.

    I love it! (I don’t but I wanted to provide a 3rd contrasting viewpoint)

    I’m more of a Product Sans guy myself, but whatever floats your boat.

      It’s very inoffensive. That’s definitely what they were going for but that also means there’s not much to say about it.

    I don’t know how to explain why, but this article reads like garbage. Not in an AI way though.

    Calibri is so widely used that it even became a key piece of evidence in a corruption investigation surrounding Pakistan’s prime minister in 2017.

    What?! Fascinating. I’ll just click the link and… Oh.

    Was called Bierstadt during preview. I’m relieved to see the curve of “l”. (Well, you possibly can’t decide if I’m talking about an L or 1 or i. That’s because Helvetica is a joke when it comes to distinguishability.)

    It’s like a Calibri-fied version of Trebuchet. You can actually tell the difference between I and l without changing the font to check. It’s an improvement.

    I never really liked Calibri at any font size above like 14 pt maybe? Hopefully this new one is better than Arial and I can switch all my PowerPoints over to it.

      As the 5th word in the Article tells us. It was Calibri.

        I genuinely didn’t realize it was an article not just a post saying so. 🤦‍♂️ Thanks for enlightening me!!

        It amuses me that this comment takes more words to get to the answer than the original article did.
