US State Department changes official font in latest anti-diversity move

U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has mandated the return to Times New Roman font for State Department documents, reversing a Biden-era decision to adopt Calibri for improved accessibility. This change, effective December 10, aims to create a more formal presentation but has been criticized for undermining inclusivity efforts.
