dirby posted:Calibri…In Office 2007, it replaced Times New Roman as the default typeface in Word I think the cultural switch happened a few years before this, starting in the late 90s serif fonts started to seem less "cultured and distinguished" and more "smarmy guy in pleated pants and big glasses who spilled Zima on his iMac."

I remember being taught some time in the mid-'00s that serifs are for print and sans is for screens.

I work for the Federal Judiciary, so we still use Times Roman as the default for legal documents. In fact, our court mandates that Times Roman 12pt be used for all filings. Except for prisoner/pro Se filings; those usually come in handwritten.

It was in 2003, when the latest release of Microsoft word defaulted to calibri.

That explains why a lot of my company's writing standards switched from Times New Roman to Arial. It happened shortly after most of our corporate files became mostly electronic (and e-signed).

I would say the demarcation point was 2007 when MS office changed the default font from Times New Roman to Calibri. Serifs are the little tails at the corners of letter forms, they are an artifact from romans carving in stone, the serifs prevented the stone from chipping in the corners of letters. When printing came along Serif fonts were used because the perceived baseline made them easier to read in blocks of small text. San-serif (“without serifs”) typefaces are more pleasing to the eye in larger sizes so as we’ve transitioned from print to screen where text is generally larger and more spaced out san-serif fonts have become more popular for reading.

What's the Latin word for fonts whose lowercase "L"s, uppercase "i"s and 1s are visually distict from each other and not just tint differences in height. Ill, it makes me when I see code/serial numbers displayed like that.

If I was head of MS or something I’d change the default logo to Jokerman to see how many small businesses and old people admit defeat and use it for signage/menus/correspondence
