The Vatican and Microsoft Launch a New Font for the Microsoft 365 Office Suite: Michelangelus

The Holy See and Microsoft have introduced Michelangelus, a new typeface for the Microsoft 365 Office suite. Commissioned by the Fabbrica di San Pietro and created by studiogusto®, the font is based on the handwriting and pen strokes of Michelangelo Buonarroti.

The typeface aims to translate the proportions, rhythm, and harmony found in the artist's handwriting into a modern typographic system. Rather than simply imitating his calligraphy, the design uses research and technology to turn the visual logic of his writing into a digital tool for global users and organizations.
