It s not often that Microsoft changes the default font for its software, but that time has come for Office, and the company wants your help choosing the new default.
As the Microsoft Design Team explains, the default Office font used to be Times New Roman before that was replaced in 2007 with Cailibri. However, Microsoft believes, it’s time to evolve and has commissioned five new custom fonts in a bid to find one to replace Calibri.

The five new fonts are Tenorite, Bierstadt, Skeena, Seaford, and Grandview. All will be available in the font menu for Office, but only one can be the default, and Microsoft is asking everyone to have their say via social media. Whichever font is most popular will be the one all Office users see (unless they change the default).
