Description

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered diplomatic correspondence to stop using the Calibri font and return to the more traditional Times New Roman, reversing a shift by Joe Biden’s administration to the less formal typeface, which Mr Rubio called “...wasteful, confusing and unbefitting the dignity of US government documents”.

Should we care about the fonts we use?

Joining Ciara Doherty to discuss is Saoirse Hanley, Features Writer with the Irish Independent and Red FM’s Eimear Hallahan.
