Arial becomes the default typeface in Outlook
The default typeface in Outlook will be changed to Arial as part of the implementation of KI's updated visual identity.
When sending an email, it should be clearly stated that you are an employee at Karolinska Institutet and part of the university. Adding a cohesive typographical expression also gives a uniform image of KI when we communicate. From now on, the default system typeface for email, including signature, is Arial, 11 points, black. Arial is an email-friendly typeface that aligns well with KI's overall graphic profile.
The typeface will be launched automatically for all users within coordinated IT. How quickly the change takes effect can depend on whether you are working on-site or remotely and may require a restart of Outlook. If you are not a part of coordinated IT you can adjust your default typeface in Outlook to Arial by going to Tools – Options – Email Formats – Templates and Fonts.
