Calibri kind of sucks, it's better on screen then TNR, but it's ugly as shit still. A better font could probably be found that reads well on screen and in print. But:
Fuck this guy, regardless.
Nah man I can actually get on board with this. I used to hate Times New Roman but it's streets ahead of the scourge that is Calibri, and with modern monitors serif fonts look fine.
The problem isn’t the font itself, it’s the fact that they’re being reactionary.
