New standard Microsoft font and updated Office design

Microsoft recently announced the replacement of its standard Calibri font, which has been used for more than 16 years, with a new Aptos font. In parallel, it is planned to introduce a new Office design.

The most noticeable changes are darker and more muted colors by default. The yellow color came to the background in favor of dark green, probably because of difficulties with the recognition of yellow forms on a white background.

In general, it seems that Microsoft is trying to make their service more professional. The new palette looks more modern, clear and stylish.
