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

    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.
