Breaking News: State Department Abruptly Switches to Historic Font
The US State Department has directed diplomats worldwide to switch from the Calibri font to Times New Roman, effective immediately. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made the decision, citing the need for consistent formatting to strengthen credibility and unity.
The change affects all official documents, including internal memoranda and papers shared externally. The switch is a reversal of a Biden-era font change aimed at improving accessibility for readers with disabilities.
Times New Roman was previously the State Department's official font for nearly two decades. The font change is a significant shift, with Calibri being used since 2020.
The State Department has not provided further details on the reasoning behind the switch or any potential implications. This change is expected to be implemented across all diplomatic channels.
This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
