Looks like a return to Arial to me!
Meanwhile professors still be requiring essays done in Times New Roman, and all actual documents are done in the default because as long as its legible it doesn't matter.
Oh except for a court case in 2044 when a lawyer notices "Aha! This document is dated from 2020 but the Aptos font wasn't introduced until 2023, this document is forged!" Yes I can cite precedent, Your Honor; something similar happened with Callibri, introduced circa 2007.
Well it already happened https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/12/15961354/pakistan-calibri-font-scandal-forged-documents
See? Told you there was precedent.
Thanks for the sauce, that makes me so happy, people like me have them Sherlock skills, being heroes
A font I strongly dislike. Particularly in any electronic media it just looks unsightly to me for some reason I have never been able to articulate. I do tend to like sans-serif fonts more in general, but I don't think that's entirely it.
I hope to never return to an environment where someone is going to complain about just using Arial or similar.
