Worse than that. They made this decision because it's easier to read for people with dyslexia. So a waste of time and energy just for the sake of being a dick.
Calibri is easier for those with dyslexia?
Yeah, that's why they considered it a DEI policy. The Biden administration made the shift to Calibri to make things easier to read for people with dyslexia. The Trump admin thinks that inclusion is woke and are are now rolling that policy back. It's like a cartoon villain level evil.

This is what they spend their time on. Not solving issues. But complaining about fonts. Bro the child poverty rate is up 50%
Children are literally starving while this guy worries about fonts.
And you know these fucks spent 12 meetings, and $500k on this decision.
Whatever keeps the gay thoughts away
Making America Great Again /s
Make America Serif Again
That, I would actually approve of. I hate ambiguous I and l.
Whoever came up with fonts with almost identical l, I and | should sleep on cactus for the rest of their life.
But beside that: Monospace fonts for the win.
It's because it's got Roman in the name, isn't it?
It is because Calibri was made with reading inclusion in mind (no thin slanted lines) and the current office actively working to exclude as many people as possible for no obvious reason other than pettiness.
Although, maybe they want to start writing in latin one day again too, so to exclude even more people (like the old days when only the elite were able to read relevant sources).
No they want to start using Latin so that they can have interpretations based on vibes of the day and not the letter of the law.
Standard insecure loser behavior.
Isn't it just being petty and vindictive for no reason but hate? Biden brought it in, therefore it's bad, and people who have difficulty with serif fonts? Well, that's just DEI wokery, according to this feckless wretch.
Serif for print media, sans serif for screen media. That said, waste of money even if Calibri is ugly (which the creator of it also said).
Fraktur vs Antiqua II: elektrisches boogaloo
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog
Way to go guys, using the wrong pangram and leaving out the "s".
This is the kind of divisive policy that will Fraktur the nation.
of course they would pick the most basic bitch of all serif fonts.
Guys, is it gay to not use serifs?
No, it's trans.
Bold magenta comic sans would be more suitable
Well shit, that sure did own me. Totally worth it, Marquito!
I don't even. I dunno. Wild. Fucking hell .. You think it couldn't get any more emberrassing and pathetic and then next day hits the headline.
Can we at least use Arial instead? I don't like serifs
Gothic thanks. If it was good enough for Jesus Christ then its good enough for me !
Dickhead wants to be whiter than white.
We should help them look for the old font. Release the Epstein files so we can proofread it for you.
