Microsoft said it would be evaluating the new five fonts over the next few months. Grandview is designed for use in body text but retains the same qualities of high legibility, with subtle adjustments made for long-form reading.

Grandview is a sans serif typeface derived from classic German road and railway signage, which was designed to be legible at a distance and under poor conditions. Its gently organic and asymmetric forms help reading by emphasizing the differences between letters, thus creating more recognizable word shapes. Seaford is a sans serif typeface that is rooted in the design of old-style serif text typefaces and evokes their comfortable familiarity. Skeena is ideal for body text in long documents, as well as in shorter passages often found in presentations, brochures, tables, and reports. Its strokes are modulated, with a noticeable contrast between thick and thin and a distinctive slice applied to the ends of many of the strokes. Skeena is a “humanist” sans serif based on the shapes of traditional serif text typefaces. Given below is a description of the five new fonts that span the various sans-serif styles-humanist, geometric, swiss-style, and industrial. When a font blends into the background of a user experience, people can jump right into the creative process and stay grounded in their thoughts rather than thinking about the form those thoughts take.” “We seldom give them much thought, and therein lies their greatest gift. “Default fonts are perhaps most notable in the absence of the impression they make,” Microsoft added. These five fonts are Tenorite, Bierstadt, Skeena, Seaford, and Grandview. The team also announced that it has commissioned five original, custom fonts to replace Calibri as the default across Office apps, Microsoft 365, and beyond. It has served us all well, but we believe it’s time to evolve.”

“Calibri has been the default font for all things Microsoft since 2007, when it stepped in to replace Times New Roman across Microsoft Office.

And just as people and the world around us age and grow, so too should our modes of expression,” the Microsoft Design team wrote in a blog post on Wednesday.
