In terms of design, Carlito Font has some rounded corners and some not, with Calibri rotating all around its corners. The principle, always the same, is to suggest a font of the same stylistic type as its model, but with a distinct style, and the proportions and scales are identical so that you can substitute without jeopardizing the layout. Since Carlito and Calibri have the same font specifications, ChromeOS users can correctly display and print documents designed in Calibri without affecting the layout.v In 2013, due to the widespread use of Calibri in Microsoft Office documents, Google released a freely licensed font called Carlito as part of ChromeOS, which is compatible with Calibri’s metrics.

This family was then expanded, with “crosextrafonts” to replace the newer lines: Caladea to replace Cambria … and here the last: Carlito, who replaces Calibri. We have already mentioned “Croscore fonts,” intended to be alternatives to well-known fonts: Arimo, to replace Arial, Tinos, for Times New Roman, and Cousine for Courier New. Carlito was created by Polish designer Lukasz Dziedzic, who took his “Lato” font, which we already talked about, and tweaked the proportions to bring them back to Calibri’s proportions. Carlito Font is a modern, friendly sans-serif typeface, and is a forked font very similar to Lato, its metrics are compatible with Microsoft’s Calibri font.
