Bierstadt[edit]

Bierstadt is not an other name of Aptos. (Also known as Bierstadt)

It would be necessary to rewrite the text. The original font is Bierstadt with version 1.04. Aptos with version 1.09. Both families can be found in the Cloud fonts in Office collection.

Microsoft lists Aptos and Bierstadt, too.

Hi @Brtkr! Would you be able to provide a more definitive source, as the official Microsoft announcement says "Bierstadt is now known as Aptos." Bierstadt may still appear as a Cloud Font as documents which used Bierstadt will still reference the font under that name, not the rename. Cheers :) Tim (Talk) 11:52, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Characteristics section[edit]

I understand Aptos is not approved to use inline, but I would still really appreciate being able to look at the characteristics being talked about, like on the page for the typeface Trebuchet. Can we add perhaps images of characters that are mentioned but do not appear on the poster at the top of the page, e.g. uppercase G? Would that be justifiable/relevant?
