Microsoft’s Next Default Font

April 28, 2021 at 12:42 pm

Times New Roman, Calibri, and up next…? Five new con­tenders have entered the ring to be the new default type­face in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office pro­grams. Commissioned by Microsoft, their names are Tenorite, Bierstadt, Skeena, Seaford, and Grandview. They are already avail­able to try and use with a swap planned in the future after some feed­back and testing.
