It draws too much attention to itself, especially the figures draw a lot of attention to themselves, and it feels a bit cold and awkward for a multi-purpose default font. It’s also well crafted, but as it is with this kind of typeface, it’s pretty outstanding. You find it on the German freeway signs and I already used the beautiful version by Parachute for a project. This one is based on the industrial and popular DIN typeface. Or it will make the office environment more fun? Who knows … And it might be hard to pronounce for non-German speakers. I read it’s named after a mountain that’s named after an artist, okay, but it feels so stupid to have “Beer city“ as the default font name.
That’s why I would not want it as a default.Īnd as a German speaker I think this name is horrible. My problem is, that this style is so overused within the last decades years. The letter-space are pretty open, there is a double-story g and a serif at the lower case l, which makes the letters more distinguishable, hence better for long reading text. It’s a good take on it regarding a text-typeface. This is the Hellvetica-Arial-Roboto-San-Franciso-Univers-and-so-on super-popular mid-century Grotesque sans-serif style we have all seen so many times. Save yourself this trouble by downloading my pdf-sample, or watching the video 😉.
#Fonts that go with microsoft sans serif trial
Maybe they want people to go into the application to test them out? So I had to sign up for a trial version of Office 365 which was painful enough. This is pretty wired, since they want people to state their choice, but you can’t see them on the article in a document. In their “Beyond Calibri” blog post, Microsoft only showed some nice individual letters of every typeface. And you should really do this, because you can only get a feeling for them when you apply them. Right now you only get the fonts with an Office 365 subscription, then they are activated automatically, and you can try them out in Word or any other application. After over 12 years I think it’s okay to start a new era. Calibri was fine, it was soft, rounded and friendly, also a bit small. Most of all it should not stand in your way, let you put out your content, and will eventually disappear. Bierstadt is a more readable Helvetica, Tenorite a friendlier Futura, and Grandview a wider and more body-text suited DIN. Both represent the humanistic sans-serifs. My favorite is Skeena, the most interesting one is Seaford.
TL DR: All fonts are well crafted and represent different popular sans-serif styles.
