Aptos, Microsoft’s New Default Font for Office Documents
I don’t know if Microsoft actually chose Aptos (née Bierstadt) based on customer feedback, but it says a lot about the company either way. Companies that have taste do not conduct design via surveys.

I'm a total font nerd
TBH, I thought you were angry at the Mermaid for a second... 😆, but my favorite font is Blackletter686.
@corlin @Heucuva8 @tyghebright @evistre I use the Neuro Diverse font on kindle. It's ugly as hell, but I manage to keep track of where I am.
Aesthetics are nice but function has to take priority for my easily distracted brain.
@DanielCoopreal @Heucuva8 @tyghebright @evistre
Yep..
I am glad it exists.
And many programs I use offer it as an alternative.
@corlin @Heucuva8 @tyghebright @evistre I used to be team Serif, but since presbyopia I’m a Helvetica fan.
Oh absolutely not for reading... definitely. What do you think of Dialog? It's pretty legible but doesn't look silly like comic sans or boring like Times New Roman.
@Heucuva8 @tyghebright @evistre
Dialog is certainly readable.
If rather boring.
The lack of any curves, seems lees than optimal.
But over all it is a nice, if pricey font.
@Heucuva8 @tyghebright @evistre
Excuse me...
Maybe for the title on a heavy metal record.....
but not for reading.
