In Office 2007, it replaced Times New Roman as the default typeface in Word and replaced Arial as the default in PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, and WordPad.

Luc(as) de Groot (Standard Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, and Hebrew) Mamoun Sakkal (Arabic) Ruben Tarumian (Armenian and Georgian) Ĭalibri ( / k ə ˈ l iː b r i/) is a digital sans-serif typeface family in the humanist or modern style. The italic letterforms also feature especially-prominent ball terminals.Humanist sans-serif Modern sans-serif In the italic fonts, both the ‘a’ and the ‘g’ are single-storey. The lowercase ‘g’ in the upright fonts, which is double-storey, has a lovely ear that ascends above the x-height. The ascenders of Claire’s lowercase letters rise slightly above the tops of the uppercase letters and numerals. The numerals include nice, decorative features, such as flag-like strokes on the bottom of the ‘2’ and the top of the ‘7’. The same is true for the numerals, which share the same height as the capitals. Since the proportions of its uppercase letters are nineteenth-century, they optically feel like they are all almost the same width. Claire’s letterforms feature thick slab-like serifs that are bracketed onto their stems.

Each of those six weights has a companion italic font, too. Claire includes 12 styles ranging in weight from Thin to Black. The letterforms in Clair have a vertical axis, and their design is reminiscent of contemporary newspaper fonts, as well as late-nineteenth century typefaces along the Century model. Several of the weights in the family are optimal for setting large amounts of running texts the extreme light and heavy fonts, on the other hand, work great together in display applications. Claire is a family of fonts with sturdy serifs.
