RIP Calibri. All hail Aptos, our new font overlord.

I used to enjoy Impact, I must have been a troubled youth.

Hi,

I require assistance.

I am currently awful and lazy and sick (as in ill, [as in poorly]) and I can't be bothered to do any more than the extremely limited brief look at that link, however I remain interested in seeing the actual fundamental difference between this new font and Calibri. Quick glance at the link didn't seem to show it and I'm all out of willpower to look at that page further.

Would anyone be so kind as to create a quick side by side comparison for me? I am more than aware that this post took more brainpower and physical effort to type than looking through the link, but I don't think I can muster up any more energy than I did in line 3. Oh I thought of a good analogy, it's a bit like when you're full of savoury food, but somehow find room for dessert.

Please help.

Angus? Is that you?

I like calibri.

Me too, big fan of Calibri, it's either that or courier new if I need a monospaced font.

Is there a download link, or is this exclusively for cloud based 365?

I bet this new font was designed by AI . I fear that this is the start of the AI takeover.... now they are taking over our fonts!

Serif fonts only for me because I am a high revenue earner.

I've never got over the original Amiga WB1.3 Topaz 8 font.

Nice, I look forward to using the new font. I read a great article recently about a font: https://www.wallpaper.com/design-in...-of-baskerville-created-by-jony-ives-lovefrom

I can neither confirm (reveal to be true) or deny (reveal to be false) whether I (my actual person [physically]) am Angus-Higgins.

Also, guys, I'm still waiting for the side-by-side comparison of the fonts please help!

This made me so irrationally angry back in the day

I think you can get them via Cloud fonts - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...5ed-a556-b5fe6ede6adb?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us

It's there under Bierstadt (being renamed to Aptos soon)

Aptos on top
Calibri on bottom

This is on Word on a Mac but it should be the same on Windows.

Very nice. Appreciated!

Very nice. Appreciated!

If you glance at them, they look very similar but there are a lot of very subtle changes.

 

[jaybee]

Literally minimal improvements, but welcome.

Going to need a vomit animated gif for that capital M in the new font. Plus, R.I.P. to peoples fixed column width tables.

edit: hang on, no, the vomit one is the Calibri, doh.

Bierstadt aka Aptos top, Calibri bottom. This is on a 4K monitor scaled to 150%. In Outlook, font size 11.
