I don't mind Calibri, but Aptos does look like an improvement. I particularly like the serif added to the lowercase L... it has always annoyed me how that and uppercase I look exactly the same in many fonts. It's one of the reasons why I'm partial to fonts with serifs.
I think so too! Did you click through the Lorem Ipsum examples? Aptos is much easier on the eyes even in dense paragraphs.
For the record, my calling those serifs has been a point of contention. To me Aptos feels like a semi-serif, not a sans-serif, although it's officially one! However, it's been suggested to me that I should do away with the serif terminology and call them simply stroke terminals!
Still mulling over this.
Oh my god yes! future generations will be shocked that it took us that long to solve that particular typography problem.
OK, debate solved,
serifs->stroke terminals
