Once selected based on polls and other feedback from social media, Microsoft will evaluate which one to choose as the ultimate winner. Of course, everyone has their own taste, which is why Microsoft is looking for feedback. Grandview is more for long-form reading and is quite legible under non-ideal viewing situations. Meanwhile, Seaford is meant to be a bit gentle and recognizable. Note the unique stroke endings on Bierstadt and the narrow display style on Tenorite.Īccording to the designer, Skeena is meant to be used in the body text in long documents. The second font, Bierstadt, is also inspired by sans-serif but is more highly readable and more clear-cut, per designer Steve Matteson. The first of the fonts, going by the name Tenorite, resembles a modern sans-serif look but is a bit warmer and inspired by Trade Gothic, according to designers Erin McLaughlin and Wei Huang. “In typeface design, the space and shapes between letters is just as critical as the letter shapes themselves,” said the Microsoft design team. There’s a separate artist behind each one, and the designs span different geometric, human, and industrial shapes, according to Microsoft. The list includes fonts with the unique names of Tenorite, Bierstadt, Skeena, Seaford, and Grandview. The five new potential default font families are now available as a download for testing and have various themes.
Five new default fonts are in the works for Microsoft 365 - which covers Word, Excel, and PowerPoint - and Microsoft is seeking out feedback for which one is best. Microsoft needs your help to shape the future of its Office suite of products.
