Microsoft is replacing its default font for the first time in 14 years and asking the public for feedback on potential replacements.
Calibri was chosen as the default font for Microsoft programmes like Office, Powerpoint and Outlook in 2007. At the time it replaced Times New Roman.
Now Microsoft says that “it’s time to evolve”. It has commissioned five original, custom fonts in its search for a new default.
