United States Court of Appeals discourages use of Garamond
On March 16, 2021, the United States Court of Appeals (District of Columbia) strongly discouraged the use of Garamond in legal briefs. The verbatim text: Preferred typefaces for briefs. Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 32(a)(5) requires courts of appeal to accept briefs in any proportional typeface so long as the typeface has serifs and is at least 14-point in size. However, the court has determined that certain typefaces, such as Century and Times New Roman, are more legible than others, particularly Garamond, which appears smaller than the other two typefaces. Today the court announces a revision to the Circuit's Handbook of Practice and Internal Procedures to encourage the use of typefaces that are easier to read and to discourage use of Garamond. Mark J. Langer, Clerk. All outraged type experts should send briefs set in Sabon to chief judge Sri Srinivasan. Or write an opinion piece, like Ile Kauppila did. |
