Calibri was supposedly easier to read by people with disabilities. While this itself is debatable, that's not the reasoning behind the font switch. The mere attempt at making life easier for disadvantaged people is labeled DEI and as such cannot be tolerated by this administration.

I would have thought the change to Calibri was simply because office uses it as the default font now

It was the default, now it's Aptos.
