That changed in 2000 with Microsoft’s new ClearType technology, which optimized the resolution on LCD screens and made fonts like de Groot’s easier to read. “I had some sketches already, so I adapted those and added these rounded corners to get some design feeling in it.” For a long time, computer displays lacked the pixel density to faithfully render all fonts rounded corners appeared not as an arch but a stair. “I designed it in quite a hurry,” he says. “It’s a relief,” he says.ĭe Groot created Calibri in the early 2000s, as part of a collection of fonts for enhanced screen reading.
It’s the end of an era, but Calibri’s designer, Lucas de Groot, has no qualms about letting his typeface rest for a bit.
