Microsoft Word’s Subtle Typeface Change Affected Millions. Did You Notice?
"You may notice this when you type 'je ne sais quoi' [it means 'I don't know what'] in Aptos," says Microsoft's corporate vice president for design and research, a guy named Jon Friedman.
I don't know what either, and I didn't notice, because I haven't used MSWord for anything recently but I might give it a try. I never liked Calibri (Aptos's predecessor) all that much.
Ever since I took a printing class, long ago in an ancient age, I've been a minor-league type junky. Typefaces are just kind of fun.
(The default typeface for this blog is Verdana, another Microsoft typeface which was designed specifically for use on web pages.)
