Erasing Bidens DEI Legacy… One Font at a Time –

Which font you employ won’t appear to be a big deal, but as with many issues, appearances matter when it comes to communications. Secretary of State Marco Rubio thinks so too, and is nuking a Biden-era edict that the division use the Calibri font when it comes to official missives. He’s ordered a return to the more stately Times New Roman, a font that provides a more critical tone than the cutesy, modern-looking Calibri.

Former Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken had demanded the use of Calibri for, you guessed it, range, equality, and inclusion causes. Rubio is only too completely satisfied to erase one more aspect of their legacy:

Two years in the past, Rubio’s predecessor, Antony Blinken, switched to Calibri, a softer, simpler-shaped, and wider font than Times New Roman, in half to help people with sure visible disabilities such as low imaginative and prescient and dyslexia.

“Switching to Calibri achieved nothing except the degradation of the department’s official correspondence,” Rubio wrote in an “action request,” obtained by GWN and the New York Times.

Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has ordered… a font change.

The Calibri font was instituted, during the Biden administration, at the advice from the “Office of Diversity and Inclusion.”

The above tweet continues:

Secretary Rubio has reverted back to Times New Roman, saying, “Switching to Calibri achieved nothing except the degradation of the department’s official correspondence.” 

Rubio added that transferring back to Times New Roman would “restore decorum and professionalism to the division’s written work.“ 

It’s not often you get top degree authorities officers making passionate statements relating to fonts.

Like Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Rubio believes that how one thing appears issues. He added that Blinken’s change was wasteful, and the division had not seen a drop in “accessibility-based document remediation cases.” But in the end, it was about professionalism:

“To restore decorum and professionalism to the Department’s written work products and abolish yet another wasteful DEIA [Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility] program, the Department is returning to Times New Roman as its standard typeface,” Rubio reportedly wrote.

“This formatting standard aligns with the President’s One Voice for America’s Foreign Relations directive, underscoring the Department’s responsibility to present a unified, professional voice in all communications.”

He also argued in his memo that Times New Roman is “generally perceived to connote tradition, formality and ceremony,” and that Calibri is “informal” and “clashes” with the division’s official letterhead.

If we realized one factor since Trump took workplace, it is that there was no restrict to how far the Biden WH would go to DEI-ify all the pieces.

Even @StateDept‘s official Times New Roman font was canceled – changed with the more “inclusive” Calibri.

It won’t appear to be that big a deal, but to paraphrase Neil Armstrong, one small step can signify one thing bigger. In this case, it’s just a font, but it’s a image of returning the White House back into a critical place, not the race, gender, and “equity” obsessed playground that didn’t appear to be run by adults under Ole Joe. 

Another half of their legacy has just gotten the Wite-Out treatment.
