‘I’m banging my head against the wall;’ camps divided in fallout from government efforts to make documents easier to read
The State Department announced in January that Calibri would replace Times New Roman on official documents to make them easier to read. U.K.’s Home Office, for similar reasons, x-ed out the 83-year-old Times New Roman, which has the wings and feet on letters known as serif style.
Such mandated typeface changes have divided lawyers, government officials and academicians into the sulky and the celebratory.
“Calibri is awful,” tweeted an account called Legal Style Blog.
“The world is becoming a better place,” a forensics professor posted on Facebook.
