I’m a sans-serif fan, so Aptos may be what I like. Sort of like Calibri and Ariel.

It’s true. TNR smote Helvetica but can still die of hubris like any hero 😆.

I read that it was chosen because it scaled better at very high resolutions or something... Whatever, I'm more of a Consolas fan myself. 😂

Proud of my lifetime commitment to Times New Roman 12pt, aka The People's Font.

It’s a no-nonsense font 😆

A heart is insufficient for how much I love this, nor how much it resonates with my lived experience.

I’m an Arial girl, size 11, forever and always

I'm blue screen/white text WordPerfect in DOS old but I've accepted Calibri.

Wait, now it's Aptos? $#@&%!!!!

I'm a current (old lady) undergrad student and a prof mentioned that ChatGPT's default font is aptos and I was like omg why am I writing my papers in that font I will be suspected and then I was like omg they changed the default font because they saw people pasting in that font so often...eeep

devawo.bsky.social•25 days ago

It’s very upsetting. Honestly why are we being tried like this in this economy?!

bkjwordplay.bsky.social•25 days ago

I really do not know how Aptos worked its way into the winning spot. But ain't nobody using huh.

devawo.bsky.social•25 days ago

One their is that they have changed it because it’s the default font of Chat GPT & people have pasted from it so much that Microsoft interpreted it as demand. 🤯

bkjwordplay.bsky.social•25 days ago

Interesting. I don't even know where chat gpt is, so I've never seen her font. lol

atelesparvos.bsky.social•25 days ago

Yeah i always do TNR for personal use. I'm okay with like arial or callibri for work, I don't care enough to switch it. But the moment outlook switched to aptos I was like absolutely not
