THE US GOVERNMENT'S NEW FONT HAS DESIGNERS BEWILDERED

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Designers are baffled after Marco Rubio ordered the US State Department to abandon Calibri and return to Times New Roman, framing the move as undoing a “wasteful DEIA program.” The design community sees the idea of a “woke font” as absurd, and many argue the switch is a backwards step—Times New Roman was made for old printing conditions, while Calibri was chosen for modern screen readability. Even Calibri's designer called the decision “amusing and regrettable,” and most observers note that what's truly wasteful is changing the default font twice in two years.
