The US State Department recently switched from Times New Roman to Calibri for official documents under the Biden administration. However, Marco Rubio has pushed for a return to Times New Roman, claiming it will restore "decorum and professionalism" while eliminating what he called a "wasteful DEIA program." This decision has sparked confusion and criticism among designers, who see it as a backward step. The memo from the State Department emphasized that reverting to Times New Roman supports a unified communication approach, but many in the design community find the rationale questionable. The backlash includes comments from Lucas de Groot, the designer of Calibri, who criticized the notion of Calibri as a "wasteful diversity font." He pointed out that Calibri was chosen for its readability on digital screens, outperforming Times New Roman in that regard. Designers have expressed skepticism about the significance of font choices in government work, with some joking that a more fitting option for Rubio's team would be Comic Sans. The overall sentiment is that changing the default font twice in two years seems unnecessary and indicative of misplaced priorities within the government.
