It's like a Calibri-fied version of Trebuchet. You can actually tell the difference between I and l without changing the font to check. It's an improvement.
-
Haha kbin's font makes those entirely identical.

I'll be long past my last round-up before I give up my comic sans

I don't know how to explain why, but this article reads like garbage. Not in an AI way though.
Calibri is so widely used that it even became a key piece of evidence in a corruption investigation surrounding Pakistan’s prime minister in 2017.
What?! Fascinating. I'll just click the link and... Oh.

I never really liked Calibri at any font size above like 14 pt maybe? Hopefully this new one is better than Arial and I can switch all my PowerPoints over to it.

I'm more of a Product Sans guy myself, but whatever floats your boat.
-
I will resist this change with all my might.
-
Because change? Or is there something about the font you strongly dislike?
-
You must do, what must be done.

I love it! (I don't but I wanted to provide a 3rd contrasting viewpoint)
-
Is it just me or does it look quite condensed in the examples
-
Was called Bierstadt during preview. I'm relieved to see the curve of "l". (Well, you possibly can't decide if I'm talking about an L or 1 or i. That's because Helvetica is a joke when it comes to distinguishability.)

How to get this font on linux?
-
What's the old font?
-
As the 5th word in the Article tells us. It was Calibri.
-
It amuses me that this comment takes more words to get to the answer than the original article did.
-
I genuinely didn't realize it was an article not just a post saying so. 🤦♂️ Thanks for enlightening me!!

I don’t hate it?
It's very inoffensive. That's definitely what they were going for but that also means there's not much to say about it.
Same
