National Public Radio<\/a>, commonly known as NPR, sent a note to its staff Thursday that it will discontinue the use of its current fonts and replace them with open-source, free fonts due to the former’s lack of affordability.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The fonts and typefaces used on NPR.org, digital properties, and our brand guidelines are changing to \u2018Lato\u2019 and \u2018Source Sans Pro,\u2019” NPR wrote.<\/p>\n

“NPR’s previously used fonts – Gotham, Knockout, and Sentinel – have been removed from our website and digital properties, and will be completely phased out by the end of January. Due to a price increase and a change in the licensor for Gotham, Knockout, and Sentinel fonts, we have decided not to renew our license for those fonts,” they continued.<\/p>\n

NPR noted that this change will last “for the foreseeable future”.<\/p>\n

The news was first broken by Ben Smith, editor-in-chief of Semafor and a former New York Times<\/a> media columnist.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“NPR tells staff it can no longer afford some fonts,” Smith tweeted.<\/p>\n

NPR voting editor responded to Smith’s tweet saying there is a difference between “costs” and “can no longer afford.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I know absolutely nothing about this decision, but making a decision that factors in costs isn’t really the same thing as \u2018can no longer afford,'” he tweeted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to NPR for comment and asked how much the organization was paying for fonts prior to the announcement, but have not received an immediate response.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scott Lincicome, director of economics at the Cato Institute, poked fun at the news.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As a taxpayer, I’m mad they didn’t do this sooner. Why was I paying for fonts?!” Lincicome tweeted. “NPR should be using only free fonts AND ALSO should not exist.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a subsequent tweet, he clarified that he only meant that NPR should not receive subsidies from the government.<\/p>\n

“Was a joke. I just meant the subsidies,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

“This seems far preferable to cutting costs in other ways,” Geoffrey Skelley, senior elections analyst at FiveThirtyEight, tweeted.<\/p>\n

Trevor Mitchell of the Argus Leader wrote, “we have to fix inflation before i’m forced to write in wingdings.”<\/p>\n

The host of The Jamie Weinstein Show said, “Elections have consequences.”<\/p>\n

NPR has long been accused of having a liberal biased by conservatives. Last year, they came under criticism for broadcasting a live abortion<\/a> on the air and previously called the Hunter Biden laptop story a “pure distraction.<\/a>“<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
