Calibri is a humanist sans-serif typeface family under the Microsoft ClearType Font Collection.

In Office 2007, it replaced Times New Roman as the default typeface in Microsoft Word and replaced Arial as the default in PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook.

Calibri was designed by Lucas de Groot for Microsoft to take advantage of Microsoft's ClearType rendering technology.

In a survey conducted by researchers at Wichita State University, Calibri was the most popular font for e-mail, instant messaging, and PowerPoint presentations. It also ranked highly for use in website text.

As with other sans-serif ClearType Collection fonts, it includes unique italic type features.
