I noticed recently the default font in Microsoft Office has changed to Aptos from Calibri. I decided to do a test and they seem to look pretty much the same in terms of design, but Aptos takes up more space. Either the person who developed it's eyes are going, or they want you to be able to do less when you get a "Write 3 pages" assignment.

I even found an article that Microsoft put out about the process of developing five new fonts and picking the best one for the new default. IDK why I am even sharing this. It is something that distracted me when preparing for my exams so now you have to hear about it too.

RIP Calibri, you served us well from the death of Times New Roman in the late 2000s to now.

So, apparently if you search a common font name font name on Google, Google will change its display font to that font?!

wait a minute

ohno

oh thank GOD

A biiitt more about Calibri incase anyone were to struggle with his general clothing

I love seeing people pissed off that Microsoft finally switched from Calibri to Aptos as the default font, because it truly proves that people will be mad about anything.

Like if you tell me you love calibri. You're a liar. If you're telling me you had an OPINION on calibri at all, you're a liar. You're lying if you say you have even THOUGHT about calibri ONCE in the past 6 months.

I'm a graphic designer. My job every day is fonts and I haven't thought about calibri for MONTHS.

Propaganda under the cut.

Calibri: "Calibri looks like Arial but slightly better, softer, and also slightly smaller. According to reddit user u/big_macaroons on r/etymology, its name is "derived from the word "caliper," which refers to a measuring instrument that can be used to take precise measurements. The name was chosen to reflect the font's clean and precise design, which is meant to be highly legible and readable at small sizes." And who doesn't trust someone with an username like that? Probably true. I love Calibri <3"

Space Mono: "funny name (play on monospace) that makes it sound like a sci-fi disease. cute little dot in 0's. the coolest M."

My microsoft word finally updated to the new default font and I hate it. I manually change it back to calibri every time. The new font makes me angry and just looks weird.

It’s been a while since I’ve drawn me and Bud’s ( @scrambledmeggys UF Sans) fankids. I’m really happy with how it turned out and how cute we all look.

systober day 7 — an older alter!

This is Calibri! We found him about three years ago, fairly soon after system discovery, but we suspect he’s been around since high school. Not the oldest in the sys by far but he’s a classic <3

(Also just to note I haven’t been doing every day, I’m pretty busy and tired so I’m only going to be doing the days I have energy and stuff! This is still super fun anyway)

✧Here’s some of mod Scorpii’s headcanons for Calibri while I work on his designs.✧

(Also!! Me and Bee’s headcanons might not always line up with each other’s so we’ll be labeling them and tagging them with either #Scorpii’s headcanons🦂 or #Bee’s headcanons🐝 respectively!!! Ty :-)!!!)

✧I think Calibri would be a total deadhead!! He’s really into psychedelic rock and has a Grateful Dead hoodie he wears everywhere.

✧He definitely flunked high school really bad. He’d show up to class absolutely zooted at 7 A.M. and just coast through the day on nothing but vibes and the edible in his pocket. Papyrus made him at least get his GED afterwards.

✧He totally models his guitar playing after Jimi Hendrix, and Napstaton samples his riffs for his music.

✧That being said!! Calibri definitely has access to Napstaton’s official social media and posts the worst things imaginable on his professional account. It’s always like low res images of Goku with captions like “shidded” and then nothing else.

✧Calibri is the chill homie harboring an unfathomable amount of sadness.

✧Like, his inferiority complex has only gotten worse with age (He’d be about 19-21 in our future au) To be honest, he’s a total basket case that really wants to change, but is too scared to put in the effort.

✧He brings a “we should all quit” vibe to the work place that managers don’t really like.

✧Expanding on that; he’s been fired from pretty much every single job he’s had until Napstaton gave him a job at his record store/radio station.

✧He previously worked at a movie theater and helped kids sneak in to shows through the back, but eventually got caught.

✧Calibri can give you solid music recommendations based on your vibes alone and he’s got a 99% success rate.

✧He asked Trajan to be his trip sitter one time, but as soon as the shrooms hit he got terrified of Trajan’s four eyes and locked himself in the laundry room.

✧He and Hapstablook love to cook together!! He also cooks with Sans too, but it can get to be a really exhausting couple of hours trying to wrangle him into actually cooking the taco meat. So Calibri really values his time with Hapstablook cause it’s usually just a very sweet and calming experience.

✧The bandana in my new design for him is from his uncle Sans 🫶 he has like, a million and wanted Calibri to match with him.

✧He’d rather die than cut his hair.

✧Calibri’s style now leans more into a hippie-punk kinda look, mainly cause he aligns himself with most of the ideals of both subcultures.

Here’s my sketch of his new design so far!! I’ll have a more confident piece for him, this is just a lazy slap-together.

He’s got on that stupid Grateful Dead hoodie and a battle vest full of patches of all his favorite artists.

Never ditched the chucks! He still rocks with his converse- and his fingerless gloves.

He doesn’t tie his hair up as often anymore, but he does dress it up with that bandana that I mentioned!

His tank top underneath has a Misfits logo on it 💪

And that’s a crazy ass monster boof from the Hot-Lands so who knows what’s actually in it.

Aptos is replacing Calibri after 15 years on the throne as Microsoft Office’s default font. It’s “bold, well-defined, directive, and constrained” (i.e. easier to read) and “embodies professionalism,” which its predecessor lacked.

If Calibri is a casual dot com era t-shirt, Aptos is a business casual, wrinkle-free, fitted button-up.

That’s 15 years of company after company using Calibri as its default body font within its brand guidelines. It‘s been a matter of convenience. Even if employees never read the brand guide, they’d be “on-brand” in their communications and quickly thrown-together sales pitches via Word and PowerPoint featuring masterful displays of clipart. But those days are over.

From 1993-2007, Times New Roman was Microsoft’s default, and it was reflected throughout brand collateral, but now, it’s the epitome of outdated.

How long until Calibri is thrown in the box of unused fonts and brands build their strategy around Aptos?

The reality is they’ve already started.

If anyone is curious, heres Void human (along with more doodles)!

The 2nd picture is the first drawing of Human Void (along with Calibri, another sans OC of mine being human but ive just sort off forgotten about him)
