> The US State Department only just directed its employees to use Calibri for memos earlier this year. The State Department had been using Times New Roman instead since 2004. Given it’s taken them the full 16 years to switch over to Calibri, they’ll probably be waiting another decade or more to eventually switch to Aptos.

I quite like Times New Roman, it saddens me a little to see it looked down on as if it’s outdated, and to that end I’m glad they commissioned a new font so a well known typeface won’t get shunned like Times New Roman.
