- beej71 10mo agoThat actually doesn't look horrible to my untrained eye. But the web page mentions accessibility, so I'm a little bit surprised it still exists.

- mrweasel 10mo agoThat just makes it incredibly silly. A good argument from the current administration would have been to pick Public Sans and argue: We paid good money to have a good, generic, license free font developed for the government, and the previous administration went with a font that will cost us money in terms of licensing (not sure how true that might be, but it's potentially true, if used outside Microsoft Word). But the current Trump administration has a fun way of forgetting everything done during his first presidency. Even the smart choices. I can't imagine how much all this rebranding is costing the US taxpayers.
