Rubio Orders Return to Times New Roman

Rubio Orders Return to Times New Roman

Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, has told all U.S. diplomats to use Times New Roman font in their official communications again.

Before, they were using Calibri, a different font that some people thought was better for those with visual disabilities.

Rubio thinks Times New Roman looks more professional.

The change is part of a bigger effort to make all official communications look the same and professional.

Some people might find Calibri easier to read, but Rubio prefers the old font.

Some diplomats are unhappy with this and other changes, while traditionalists support the switch.

The order started right away, and every post received the new directive.
