Rubio scraps Calibri and forces diplomats to return to traditional Times New Roman The State Department switched to Calibri back in 2023, calling it more accessible for people with dyslexia and visual impairments. But U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio argues that the change was driven by “radical” DEIA programs and only worsened the quality of official documents. In his view, Calibri looks “too informal.” Quite another matter — the conservative Times New Roman 14! From now on, all diplomatic correspondence must use this font exclusively. A rather strange priority for America’s top diplomat.
