A versatile typeface that expresses simplicity and rationality in a highly readable form, Bierstadt is also notably clear-cut with stroke endings that emphasize order and restraint. BIERSTADT by Steve Mattesonīierstadt is a precise, contemporary sans serif typeface inspired by mid-20th-century Swiss typography. In many typefaces, the punctuation is too faint, tightly spaced, or easily confusable for on-screen rendering, where clarity is key. Tenorite’s punctuation was particularly fun to create, and we didn’t shy away from going large and circular. The Tenorite Display weights are also a bit thinner and heavier than their Tenorite counterparts, giving the family more versatility. This tighter fitting allows for more words to fit on a line, which is great for use in PowerPoint presentations, and in all-caps settings when creating column headings in Excel spreadsheets, for example. The display styles of Tenorite, however, are much narrower and inspired by Trade Gothic. The Tenorite fonts aim to solve this problem. But because customers read and write long paragraphs of text within applications like Microsoft Word, more generous character spacing is helpful. We both love the circular forms and sturdiness of Adrian Frutiger’s Avenir. ![]() Elements such as large dots, accents, and punctuation make Tenorite comfortable to read at small sizes onscreen, and crisp-looking shapes and wide characters create a generally open feeling.Įrin and Wei: After years of Calibri-known for soft corners and narrow proportions-we were craving something very round, wide, and crisp, and the geometric genre felt like the right direction. Tenorite has the overall look of a traditional workhorse sans serif (a font without a serif, or a stroke at the ends, like Times New Roman), but with a warmer, more friendly style. TENORITE by Erin McLaughlin and Wei Huang ![]() Read on to learn about their creative inspiration and process. The new fonts span the various sans-serif styles-humanist, geometric, swiss-style, and industrial-and we’ve interviewed the designers of each to help bring their nuances and unique personality to life. In typeface design, the space and shapes between letters is just as critical as the letter shapes themselves. The design of an individual letter may be artistic but getting all these individual letters to work together to make words, sentences, and paragraphs is a science of its own. The degree to which seemingly minute differences in typography can create visceral responses (who can forget the infamous Papyrus sketch on Saturday Night Live?) is a testament to the art and science of font design. Five new fonts: Meet Tenorite, Bierstadt, Skeena, Seaford, and Grandview And don’t worry if the font you love best isn’t chosen as the next default all of them will be available in the font menu, alongside Calibri and your other favorite fonts in your Office apps in Microsoft 365 and beyond. Head over to social and tell us your favorite. ![]() We’re excited to share these brand-new fonts with you today and would love your input. To help us set a new direction, we’ve commissioned five original, custom fonts to eventually replace Calibri as the default. It has served us all well, but we believe it’s time to evolve. And just as people and the world around us age and grow, so too should our modes of expression.Ĭalibri has been the default font for all things Microsoft since 2007, when it stepped in to replace Times New Roman across Microsoft Office. A default font is often the first impression we make it’s the visual identity we present to other people via our resumes, documents, or emails. Still, while default fonts may not have the same flair as some of their more eye-catching cousins (we’re looking at you, Bauhaus 93 and Showcard Gothic), they communicate a distinct personality in their own quiet way-a personality that by extension becomes our personality as well. When a font blends into the background of a user experience, people can jump right into the creative process and stay grounded in their thoughts rather than thinking about the form those thoughts take. We seldom give them much thought, and therein lies their greatest gift. We’ve commissioned five new custom fonts– which should be the next default font?ĭefault fonts are perhaps most notable in the absence of the impression they make.

![]() He doesn’t pretend he never knew Rin or writes him off as a liar or a creep. It may seem like some trashy anime-esque reveal, but in truth, this is one of the biggest turning points for Vincent during the entire game. A boy that Vincent has grown quite fond of throughout their time together. The cutesy pink-haired Rin is actually a boy. ![]() Well, that’s because Rin’s hiding a bit of a secret. You may have noticed that I’ve been referring to Rin with ‘they/them’ pronouns throughout this article. In Catherine: Full Body, Rin is thrown into the mix as a romantic option and I can say without hesitation that their route is the most fulfilling. Like I said at the start, in the original, Vincent only had two choices: a steady relationship with Katherine or a wild life of sin with Catherine. Considering their absence in the original, Rin’s ability is unique to Catherine: Full Body, giving them a more meaningful role in the game overall. Not as a horrific creature, but as help, playing their piano to stop the blocks beneath our protagonist from falling. From here, Rin is practically a constant, sitting on their piano stool waiting to be spoken to every evening.Īs the game progresses and Vincent’s bonds grow stronger, Rin even starts appearing in the nightmare puzzles. Through Erica, The Stray Sheep’s waitress and long-time friend, Vincent gets Rin their own apartment and a job as the bar’s pianist, since it’s the only skill they can remember. So Vincent takes it upon himself to make sure this newcomer is okay until they regain their memory. This isn’t anything too unusual, until he learns that Rin has amnesia. The player is aware of Rin’s presence from the very beginning with the game’s opening Vincent saves them from what he assumes to be a stalker. It would’ve been easy for the developers to make Rin an arbitrary third option, adding nothing to the story or gameplay. Sprinkled in are many a moral dilemma that determine whether Vincent chooses his girlfriend or his new squeeze by the end of the game. But, as this is a puzzle game, these nightmares are presented as wall-scaling block puzzles with a metaphorical boss at the end of each set of stages.Įssentially, the game’s can be boiled down to: relationship problem, hijinks at The Stray Sheep, and then a nightmare puzzle. This causes Vincent to be thrown into what the game calls ‘the woman’s wrath’ – a curse that punishes unfaithful men with a week’s worth of grueling nightmares before eventually killing them. While attempting to distract himself from the prospect of marriage, our protagonist meets a mysterious young woman – conveniently also named Catherine – with whom he ends up spending the night. Four of these are Vincent and his mixed bag of buddies ladies man Orlando, cynic Jonny, and the rather naïve Toby. For the driven, independent Katherine, this is a great opportunity to move on to the next chapter in her life, but for Vincent? Not so much.Ĭut to The Stray Sheep, a bar that appears to have a clientele of 11 regulars, all of whom you can chat to throughout the game. ![]() At the time we get to peek in on their lives, we learn that the pair are at a stage where everyone around them is either getting married or asking when the wedding will be. It follows the unfortunate tale of 32-year-old Vincent Brooks and his girlfriend of five years, Katherine McBride. They are not only the best character in the game thematically, but they also make the experience of Catherine: Full Body far more rewarding.īoth the original Catherine and its remake follow the same story – for the most part. The most notable addition being the new romance-able character: Rin. What I forgot however was that the remaster added some extra content to the original – giving it a ‘fuller body,’ if you will. To be honest, I didn’t know too much about the game, but there were two things I did know: A) It was primarily a puzzle game with some dating sim/visual novel elements sprinkled in, and B) You have the choice to date one of two girls, Katherine and Catherine. Finally, I was able to indulge in this guilty pleasure that had evaded me for years and…I was surprised. So, as the responsible adult I am, I bought a physical copy of the game on its day of release. For as much of a disaster 2020 has been, it did bless us with one thing: a port of Catherine: Full Body for the Nintendo Switch. So, once again, the forbidden fruit that was Catherine was out of my grasp.īut then my luck changed. Fast forward to 2019 and Catherine gets a remake: Catherine: Full Body, which was exclusive to the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita – two consoles I did not have. ![]() Obviously some of it is ridiculous unbelievable but it's a thrilling show that has action, comedy, drama, etc., all in one series!

Some plans are restricted by the number of users and office locations.ĭialpad’s AI-powered tools play a big role in making this communication application easy to use.Toll-free numbers are considered an add-on with an additional charge.Dialpad has limited customer support hours and methods of contact with some plans.Real-time analytics and reporting are included at every subscription level.You can pay a lower-than-average cost for a well-featured, entry-level business phone plan.Dialpad boasts excellent AI-powered note-taking abilities and follow-up summary emails for meetings and calls.All of these features set Dialpad apart from its peers when it comes to voice intelligence.

Why Dialpad Is Best for Voice Intelligence Although, if you're interested in using the best tool in the space (clear leader) and are open to investing in a proper integration with your CRM, Dialpad won't let you down.If large video meetings are a regular part of your weekly communications, you should consider 8×8 which can facilitate HD video calls with up to 500 participants. If you're unable to justify the investment into a custom integration with Dialpad, you'll probably be better off with Aircall or JustCall. There's more modern VoIP solutions on the market like Aircall and JustCall, which do have better "native integrations", although they pale in comparison to the UI/UX of Dialpad + have no AI intelligence features like Dialpad does (sentiment analysis, AI call review, etc.). ![]() You'll see software like RingCentral (the 800lb gorilla in the space) claims to "integrate" with everything, but it doesn't integrate as you'd actually like it to (it's just marketing-speak), and the desktop + mobile apps are incredibly outdated on all fronts. The added perk is that I've integrated Dialpad with our CRM (Copper) so all texts and calls automatically log into the CRM (and even automatically create new leads in the CRM if the number doesn't yet exist in our CRM). ![]() This is because the mobile app actually feels like a modern SMS app, and is the most stable of the bunch. So much in-fact that I personally use Dialpad as my professional relationships number (work/angel investing/networking). Having used just about every single VoIP on the market over the past decade, Dialpad is the clear innovator in the space. |
