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

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

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 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.

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.
