Rubio Orders Switch Back to Times New Roman font over 'wasteful' Calibri
The Chronify
US Senator Marco Rubio has ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font instead of Calibri, reversing a change made under the Biden administration.
In a new directive, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio has ordered American diplomats to replace Calibri with Times New Roman in all official communications. The move comes as Rubio criticizes Calibri for being “wasteful,” arguing that Times New Roman is more cost-effective and aligned with longstanding professional formatting practices.
Rubio emphasized that government communication should prioritize clarity, consistency, and efficiency. The decision has sparked discussions across diplomatic and administrative circles, with some praising the return to a classic font while others question whether the change will significantly impact costs.
The shift marks an unexpected yet symbolic adjustment in U.S. diplomatic protocol, reflecting Rubio’s push for reduced waste and greater operational discipline.
