Isn't this from the people who hate Calibri?
- GaryBluto 10mo agoThis predates the Calibri-Times debacle by quite a few years.
- hlieberman 10mo agoNo, this was a project by 18F and the U.S. Web Design group that debued several years back.
- 1f60c 10mo agoNo, looks like it was started late in Obama's second term. As for the current guys, they would probably use Instrument Serif for body text if they could.
- drivers99 10mo agoWent down a short rabbit hole from this comment and they actually are using a condensed serif font like that on www.whitehouse.gov titles at the moment.
- Muromec 10mo agoI googled Instrument Serif and google fonts page is telling me something with it's choice of lorem ipsum https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Instrument+Serif https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Instrument+Serif
- Mountain_Skies 10mo agoThat's just the State Department. The federal government is a huge amalgamation of agencies, each with its own set of goals, responsibilities, and quirks. Even down at the local level, I've had a hard time getting the county and the city to agree on who owns the storm drain where the neighborhood connects to the highway.
- PTOB 10mo agoAs a utility designer in my day job who frequents HN for real fun, this comment hits hard.
- bbx 10mo agoFunnily enough, if you Google "Calibri", the page itself is in Calibri. I've never seen that happen for any other font.
- latchup 10mo agoIt also works for Open Sans, on my Linux system at least. Probably only works for fonts that are installed and/or can be licensed for this.
- RobotToaster 10mo agoWorks for comic sans.
- sollewitt 10mo agoIt’s an Easter egg, also for Times New Roman and a few others.
- Ethan_Barry 10mo agoTry Garamond!
