Trump Administration Replaces Calibri with Times New Roman

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the replacement of the ‘informal’ Calibri font with the traditional Times New Roman in State Department documents, effective December 10. This change is part of a broader initiative to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, which Rubio argues have degraded official correspondence. The decision aligns with Trump’s stance against ‘woke’ initiatives, including recent actions to withdraw from international organizations like UNESCO. Critics of the switch highlight the readability benefits of Calibri, designed for modern screens.
