Calibri (/kəˈliːbri/) is a humanist sans-serif typeface family designed by Lucas de Groot in 2004 and reached the general public on January 30, 2007,[1][2][3] with the release of Microsoft Office 2007 and Windows Vista on that date. In Microsoft Office 2007, it replaced Times New Roman as the default typeface in Word[4] and replaced Arial as the default in PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, and WordPad. It continues to be the default in Microsoft Office 2010, 2013 and 2016,
and it is now the default font in Office for Mac 2016. A subtly rounded
design, de Groot described it as having "a warm and soft character".
Calibri is part of the ClearType Font Collection, a suite of fonts from various designers released with Windows Vista. All start with the letter C to reflect that they were designed to work well with Microsoft's ClearType text rendering system, a text rendering engine designed to make text clearer to read on LCD monitors. The other fonts in the same group are Cambria, Candara, Consolas, Constantia and Corbel.[5]
In 2017, the font was used as evidence in a Pakistani government corruption case Panama Papers case (Pakistan).[3]
