Description

Politics of Typefaces: Marco Rubios Font Debate - The State Departments font switch from Calibri to Times New Roman, mandated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has sparked controversy. Rubio argues that Times New Roman strengthens credibility and unity, while critics see it as a politically motivated choice. The debate highlights the significance of font choices, with Times New Roman being a classic serif font and Calibri a modern sans-serif option. Interestingly, tech giants like Microsoft and Google are moving towards sans-serif fonts for improved accessibility and readability. The history of Times New Roman shows that font choices can reflect broader intentions.
