These fonts are all downloadable now from within any Office application, but here’s a quick preview: Grandview is designed for use in body text but retains the same qualities of high legibility, with subtle adjustments made for long-form reading.” “Grandview is a sans serif typeface derived from classic German road and railway signage, which was designed to be legible at a distance and under poor conditions. Its gently organic and asymmetric forms help reading by emphasizing the differences between letters, thus creating more recognizable word shapes.”

“Seaford is a sans serif typeface that is rooted in the design of old-style serif text typefaces and evokes their comfortable familiarity.

Skeena is ideal for body text in long documents, as well as in shorter passages often found in presentations, brochures, tables, and reports.” Its strokes are modulated, with a noticeable contrast between thick and thin and a distinctive slice applied to the ends of many of the strokes. “Skeena is a ‘humanist’ sans serif based on the shapes of traditional serif text typefaces. A versatile typeface that expresses simplicity and rationality in a highly readable form, Bierstadt is also notably clear-cut with stroke endings that emphasize order and restraint.” “Bierstadt is a precise, contemporary sans serif typeface inspired by mid-20th-century Swiss typography. Elements such as large dots, accents, and punctuation make Tenorite comfortable to read at small sizes onscreen, and crisp-looking shapes and wide characters create a generally open feeling.” “Tenorite has the overall look of a traditional workhorse sans serif (a font without a serif, or a stroke at the ends, like Times New Roman), but with a warmer, more friendly style. To help us set a new direction, we’ve commissioned five original, custom fonts to eventually replace Calibri as the default.” “It has served us all well, but we believe it’s time to evolve.

“Calibri has been the default font for all things Microsoft since 2007, when it stepped in to replace Times New Roman across Microsoft Office,” the Microsoft Design Teams writes. And it needs your help to pick a successor. Microsoft this week announced that it would replace Calibri as the default font for all things Microsoft.
