Calibri is a sans-serif typeface family. It is a part of the new suite of fonts that comes with Microsoft Windows Vista, and is also included in the Microsoft Office 2007 suite of applications. Calibri was designed by Lucas de Groot for Microsoft.

In Microsoft Office 2007 Calibri is used as the default document font in Word (replacing Times New Roman) as well as Excel and Outlook (replacing Arial).

The typeface won an award in the Type System category at the Type Directors Club's Type Design Competition in 2005. It includes characters from Latin, Latin extended, Greek, and Cyrillic scripts.
