Times New Roman is the worst serif font they could have picked.
- Ethan_Barry 10mo agoTo be fair, it's replacing Calibri, so it's still an improvement. We should just use Garamond or Caslon for everything, but that'll never happen. :(

- RobotToaster 10mo agoI'd go with Baskerville personally.
- dheera 10mo agoI like Crimson Pro
- mananaysiempre 10mo agoThe other frontpage article on the same topic[1] makes a fairly good case that both Times and Calibri suck in this role (not least because they are default fonts and receive the social connotations of that) and notes in passing that the US Supreme Court uses Century Schoolbook, IMO a solid choice (helped also by their competent formatting) and perhaps a less artsy look than Garamond &co.
