About Office Document (Calibri 2007)
Office Document is the look of a Word file being written: a crisp white page sheet floating on a soft light-gray workspace, set in Calibri — the rounded humanist sans that Microsoft made the world's default in 2007. Office-blue and dark-blue headings, hairline-ruled tables, and standard page margins give it the neutral, legible authority of memos, reports, and proposals.
This system distills that ubiquitous business-document grammar into a design language: restrained, grid-disciplined, and quietly professional, where clarity outranks ornament.
