US State Department reverts to Times New Roman

The US State Department has switched back to using Times New Roman, a typeface with small flourishes at the end of each letter, instead of Calibri, which is simpler and easier to read on screens.

The decision was made by Marco Rubio, who believes that Times New Roman is more traditional.

The previous administration chose Calibri because it was easier to read, especially for people with learning or visual disabilities.

This change is part of a bigger debate about whether to use typefaces with flourishes (serif) or without them (sans-serif).

Serif typefaces are often seen as more traditional, while sans-serif typefaces are considered better for digital screens.
