☆ Here's the new default font for Microsoft Outlook and Word: Aptos
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( Jordan Novet | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Microsoft has named the next default font for its productivity applications, such as Word and Outlook, after testing five candidates it introduced in 2021. Aptos will remain available in the font list under the old Bierstadt name for people who are accustomed to it. In 2019, Microsoft asked font designer Steve Matteson to develop a font in the grotesque sans-serif style that includes the classic Helvetica. The company didn't let on that it was considering it as a possible successor for Calibri, Matteson said in an interview with CNBC this week. Some people didn't take the name seriously, and Microsoft decided to come up with a new one for the font, Matteson said.
