Microsoft Office default font Calibri is retiring after 15 years, company reveals five new fonts

After saying goodbye to Calibri as its default font, Microsoft has released a list of fonts that will become the new default for all Microsoft services.

Announcing a major upgrade to its visual representation tools, Microsoft has unveiled five new custom fonts to be used across its services. Out of the five, Microsoft will decide one be its next default font for all Microsoft products in the coming months. The list of font candidates comes as the company bids goodbye to Calibri, its default font for all things Microsoft since 2007. Calibri stepped in to replace Times New Roman at its time and now will be replaced by one of the five fonts as shortlisted by Microsoft here. “To help us set a new direction, we’ve commissioned five original, custom fonts to eventually replace Calibri as the default,” Microsoft noted in a recent blog. Through it, the company has shared the fonts with its users across the world and will decide on the ultimate one through user inputs and its own deductions.
