Calibri, which could make documents easier to read for the vision impaired, was apparently installed in 2023 by the department’s then-DEI office. Rubio’s memo has designated Times New Roman as his tenure’s official font, stating it will “restore decorum and professionalism” to documents.
Calibri kind of sucks, it’s better on screen then TNR, but it’s ugly as shit still. A better font could probably be found that reads well on screen and in print. But:

Nah man I can actually get on board with this. I used to hate Times New Roman but it’s streets ahead of the scourge that is Calibri, and with modern monitors serif fonts look fine.

The problem isn’t the font itself, it’s the fact that they’re being reactionary.
