Calibri, which could make documents easier to read for the vision impaired, was apparently installed in 2023 by the department’s then-DEI office. Rubio’s memo has designated Times New Roman as his tenure’s official font, stating it will “restore decorum and professionalism” to documents.

    It’s a good font. It doesn’t impose style, it’s easily readable. I’d use it if there were a version with 1) Cyrillic support, 2) monospace variant, 3) not too bold in standard weight.

      1. monospace variant

      Apparently there is (free) Comic Mono, but I find it worse than (paid) Comic Code, the latter IMHO looking more like original Comic Sans.

      …yes, I bought this stupid font and actually use it in Windows Terminal, PuTTY and VS Code.
