Hey Folks!

We’ve been playing and discussing Calibri, Aptos ( Bierstadt ), Grandview, Seaford, Tenorite and Skeena over on Tildes and I figured you folks would enjoy clicking around and seeing what the differences between them actually are.

I wrote the article, so let me know if there’s something you’d like to see as well :D

Cheers !

    What are the “display” variants of the new fonts in that article? They’re called that, at least on Office 365: Aptos Display, Grandview Display, etc.

      From what I know display font variants are intended for short text, so book titles movie posters, maybe headings but not body text. They usually bolder with more flourishes and look best if they’re big on the page but might not be very readable in long, small formats.
