silence7Microsoft Word’s Subtle Typeface Change Affected Millions. Did You Notice?
So let me get this straight. It replaces Calibri, but nowhere on the page is a visual comparison of the two.
It seems like something you’d put right at the top.

Slidey thing to compare <3
XtallllI hate the “h” in the new font.
I agree with you and I also hate lowercase e
BlueÆtherf and r are doing me
Love the feel of the new font, the kerning is nice, but it really does have some whack letters. I do really love the lowercase L, I wrote love like that.
astrskAt least the ! and @ are much cleaner and not italic.
For me it’s the “l”.
Dark ArcYeah the h is a bit too short…
I’m really not super font sensitive though, if they weren’t right next to each other I wouldn’t notice
I was never a fan of Calibri but the new font looks way too Arial-like for my taste.
agent_flounderThe hero we need! Ty!
I’m not entirely sure why but Calibri has always mildly annoyed me. Maybe because it was the new default at one point and I preferred something else. Or maybe because I felt that the default font size should be 10 or 12 points not…11 (pffft huff) Maybe it was just misplaced resentment for having to use Office products (at work). The new one has kind of a fun look, though. Maybe I will enjoy it.
I recall when Times New Roman was default. Calibri felt strange at first.
went back and forth like at the optometrist and i prefer calibri, feels denserc which i like
Almost feels like it’s more about kerning than actual character changes. Though I do prefer the symbols of calibri.
Ehhh I don’t like the new one. Calibri’s better. I wish it had a better g though.
The letters are more pleasant, but my god, that kerning is absolutely awful. It’s horribly inconsistent, and some combinations of letters are spaced apart by half the size of an entire space, while others have barely any spacing.
For as bad as calibri is, at least it was easy to tell words apart.
See? That’s what the original page should’ve had!
