i would take Aptos ten times out of ten over the simultaneously loathsome and mundane Calibri, but i'm not sure i like it very much, at least not for small text. i will probably come to feel negatively toward any default typeface after seeing it in bold, italicised and underlined to deliver notices from management. no matter what, my heart will remain with Arial Nova, which combines pleasant readability with the austerity i aim to maintain in all my interpersonal relations
