Microsoft's next big update to its Office apps: a new font
If you've used Microsoft productivity suites this millennium, you're in for a big change... visually, at least. After 15 years, Microsoft isthe default font in 365 and Office apps, Calibri, with something new: Aptos. It may look like a simple sans-serif font , but Microsoft is betting that you'll like it thanks to its sheer flexibility.
Aptos works with many languages. There are four different font weights, and serif variants if you need something less hypermodern. Creator Steve Matteson waxes poetic about Aptos including a"little bit of humanity" and evoking the personalities of Carl Kasell and even Stephen Colbert, but the end result is a font that will theoretically be easy to read and eye-catching whether you're writing a school essay or prepping a company presentation.
, it reflects an evolving technological landscape where a typeface has to be le on a wide range of devices and screen sizes.
