State Department: Calibri font was a DEI hire
The US Department of State is reversing a 2023 decision to use the Calibri font on official communications, switching back to the traditional Times New Roman font. Secretary of State Marco Rubio frames the change as a return to professionalism, claiming that Calibri is an "informal" font that clashes with the department's letterhead. The previous administration had adopted Calibri to improve the accessibility of official communications, as sans-serif fonts like Calibri work better with assistive technologies. Rubio acknowledges that Calibri "was not among the department's most illegal, immoral, radical or wasteful instances of D.E.I.A.," but it seems clear that the decision to switch back to Times New Roman is part of the second Trump administration's anti-DEI stance.
