“For 15 years, our beloved Calibri was the default font for Microsoft, and our relationship came to a natural conclusion,” he was quoted as saying by TASS.
Aptos will show up as the new default font in Word, Outlook, PowerPoint and Excel for hundreds of millions of users starting this day, according to Daniels.
It should be noted that Aptos was developed by designer Steve Matteson, who previously came up with TrueType and Segoe fonts. And it got its name in honor of the city in California. The new typeface is serif-free, dominated by simple letterforms and smooth strokes, making it easier to read.
Let’s remember that Calibri has been used in Microsoft Office services by default since 2007, before Times New Roman was the main one.
