The designer behind the typeface Calibri has laughed at Secretary of State Marco Rubio for thinking his creation is woke.
Rubio sent a memo to diplomatic outposts around the world on Tuesday, demanding that staffers return to Times New Roman for official department business because it embodied “tradition, formality, and ceremony.”
He also chastised the “informal” Joe Biden-era alternative that replaced it in 2023, saying then-Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s switch “to Calibri achieved nothing except the degradation of the department’s official correspondence.”
