A change in Microsoft Word’s default typeface, from Calibri to Aptos, didn’t register for everyone, but fans of typography got excited.

    The kerning is absolutely awful.

    Just look at the “cr” in “hovercraft”.
    Or the “zy” in “lazy”.
    Or the “rtz” in “quartz”.
    Or “sph” in “sphinx”.

    I get that kerning is hard, but the inconsistencies in Aptos actually make it harder to read, despite the glyphs being wider and more distinct.
