About

Calibri was built for Microsoft's ClearType Font Collection, with softly rounded terminals designed to read well on screen at small sizes. It became the default in Word, Excel and PowerPoint in 2007 and has stayed there for most users since, making it one of the most-printed typefaces in the world by sheer volume.
