Marco Rubio, serving as Secretary of State, ordered the US State Department to revert its official communications font to Times New Roman, reversing a 2023 directive.He characterized the previous switch to Calibri, enacted under Antony Blinken, as a "wasteful" Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) initiative that degraded professionalism.This move aligns with the
Donald Trump administration's broader campaign to dismantle
DEIA programs across federal agencies, aiming to restore formality and a unified voice in government documents.
