Calibri is a sans-serif typeface known for its clean, modern appearance with subtle rounded edges on strokes and corners. Its design gives a friendly, approachable feel while maintaining high readability for both screen and print use. The font features traditional letterforms without serifs, making it versatile for headlines, body text, or documents.
Key Characteristics
Calibri has a humanist style with softly curved geometry, such as t-bars touching stems and a smooth y-tail. It includes true italics influenced by handwriting, along with multiple weights like Light, Regular, Bold, and their italic variants. Open counters and a tall x-height enhance legibility at various sizes.
Common Uses
Designed for Microsoft Office since 2007, Calibri replaced Arial and Times New Roman as a default, excelling in long texts due to its warm character. It supports Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and Hebrew scripts, plus OpenType features like ligatures and small caps.
