Segoe (/səˈɡoʊ/ sə-GOH[1]) is a typeface, or family of fonts, that is best known for its use by Microsoft. The company uses Segoe in its online and printed marketing materials, including recent logos for a number of products. Additionally, the Segoe UI font sub-family is used by numerous Microsoft applications, and may be installed by applications (such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live Messenger). It was adopted as Microsoft's default operating system font, and is also used on Outlook.com, Microsoft's web-based email service. On August 23, 2012, Microsoft unveiled its new corporate logo typeset in Segoe, replacing the logo it had used for the previous 25 years.[2]
Segoe was designed by Steve Matteson during his employment at Agfa Monotype. Licensed to Microsoft for use as a branding typeface replacing Franklin Gothic and its user interface font replacing Tahoma, it was designed to be user-friendly and legible. Matteson created a range of weights and italics with a humanist feel.
In 2004, Microsoft registered certain Segoe and Segoe Italic fonts as original font designs with the European Union trademark and design office. The German font foundry Linotype protested, citing Segoe UI's similarity to its licensed Frutiger family of typefaces. In its submission to the EU, Microsoft claimed that Linotype had failed to prove that it had been selling Frutiger and Frutiger Next prior to 2004. The EU rejected these claims, and the EU revoked Microsoft's registration.[3] Microsoft did not appeal the decision. Microsoft still holds United States design patents for various Segoe-based fonts.
During the same period, in late 2004, after six years under the Agfa Corporation, TA Associates acquired the Monotype assets and incorporated the company as Monotype Imaging. Later, Monotype Imaging acquired Linotype.[4] By the end of 2006, the company that had challenged Microsoft's Segoe patents (Linotype) was a subsidiary of the company that had originally licensed Segoe to Microsoft (Monotype).
In June 2005, Scala, an electronic signage company (unrelated to the typeface FF Scala) removed Segoe from its InfoChannel product "due to licensing issues".[7] Scala replaced Segoe with Bitstream Vera fonts.
Simon Daniels, a program manager in Microsoft's typography group, stated that "The original Segoe fonts were not created for or by Microsoft. It was an existing Monotype design which we licensed and extensively extended and customized to meet the requirements of different processes, apps and devices."[8]
Segoe was an original design developed by Agfa Monotype (now Monotype Imaging) in 2000. In 2003, we acquired the original Segoe fonts and used them to develop an extended family of fonts retaining the Segoe name. Many of these new fonts received design patent protection in the United States. Segoe was not derived from Frutiger. Microsoft also has a current up-to-date license that allows us to distribute certain Frutiger fonts in connection with Microsoft products, including Office and Windows. There are distinct differences between Segoe and Frutiger. Additionally, unlike clone typefaces, the Segoe family of fonts are not metrically compatible with Frutiger so cannot be used as replacements.[9]
Under United States copyright law, the abstract letter shapes of functional text fonts cannot be copyrighted; only the computer programming code in a font is given copyright protection. This makes the production and distribution of clone fonts possible.
Segoe UI ("User Interface") is a member of the Segoe family used in Microsoft products for user interface text, as well as for some online user assistance material, intended to improve the consistency in how users see all text across all languages. It is distinguishable from its predecessor Tahoma and the OS X user interface font Lucida Grande by its rounder letters. Segoe UI was produced by Monotype Imaging.[10]
Segoe UI was first introduced with Windows Vista. Light, Semibold and Symbol versions of Segoe UI were introduced with Windows 7. A Semilight version of Segoe UI was introduced with Windows 8 in order to make a perfect lightweight down to 11 pixels. Black and Emoji versions of Segoe UI were introduced with Windows 8.1, but only for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts.[11] An Historic version of Segoe UI was introduced with Windows 10. A Variable version of Segoe UI was introduced with Windows 11.[12]
Segoe UI is optimized for its default ClearType rendering environment, and it is significantly less legible when ClearType is disabled, except at key user interface sizes (8, 9 and 10 point) where Segoe UI has been hinted for bi-level rendering. The standard font size increased to 9 point to accommodate for better layout and readability for all languages.
At one time, Microsoft also posted a package called Print Ad for Microsoft Dynamics Business Management Solutions Brief Description to the Microsoft downloads center. The package included TrueType and PostScript Type 1 beta versions of the Segoe branding fonts along with PowerPoint templates and marketing material.[30]
Microsoft released Selawik as a metric-compatible[a] Segoe UI replacement, and Symbols as a Segoe UI Symbols and Segoe MDL2 Assets fall-back, under SIL OFL. These fonts are used in WinJS and Winstrap.[32] Selawik is also one of Microsoft's recommended fonts for UWP apps.[33]
I have some web applications that follow metro style of the Microsoft (ie.: new outlook).But I'm having troubles with the fonts that I used. The default font is "Segoe" family, when an user enter in the application in a system that have the desktop font Segoe UI, everything is alright. But in some cases users are using Mac or Ubuntu that don't come with the "Segoe UI" and the navigator uses the secundary font (in my case, Tahoma).
First of all there are difrent types of fonts for every browser. To make sure that it will work in every browser You need to put at least 3 types: eot, ttf, woff (and svg). The best way to get those is to use one of the links: ,
3011 font families for Python 2 and 68 for Python 3? yes, Python 2 is the system Python installed by apt on my Debian pc, while Python 3 is Anaconda's one and sees just the fonts that Anaconda installed in its private tree.
The Segoe UI font family is the official font for Microsoft and is used throughout Office 365 (including SharePoint). The font is included with all Windows and Office 365 installs for PCs; however, it is not included in Office 365 for Mac installs. Can someone confirm this? I can't understand why it would not be included since it makes it difficult to use as a standard font since it isn't supported on Macs. Any suggestions? I feel like it should be included with Office 365 for Mac.
Plus 1 for this. I use Office for Mac with Helvetica Neue, which gets converted to what looks like Times New Roman when my enterprise colleagues read my emails. I'd love some consistency across platforms by sticking with Segoe UI.
This font has been standard for years in Office 365 for Windows but is missing in the Office 365 for Mac version. There have been many complaints to the Office forums but nada.
Also, it seems it seems impossible to download and install using Font Book in macos.
Anyone got a workaround short of using Office 365 for Windows because I REALLY need this exact font for customers' documents?
Hello, recently the font changed in Trello to become Segoe UI. Interestingly this font is prioritised over Robotto in the style sheet, this is a much better font in terms of readability and should be ahead of Segoe UI.
Hi all,I have searched everywhere and tried for hours to get a custom font working on my Squarespace site, but Im obviously not smart enough :-) Hoping you kind people might be able to point me in the right direction. I simply wish to use Segoe UI throughout my site which is not a Google Font.
I have entered the first code in the CSS section, and the second code in both the header section (under code injection) so it spans across the entire site. For good measure, I also added it to the header of each page too (under page settings).
@Petri PottonenThank you for your video tutorial. I had been struggling with how to get icons to display in my implementation of lightGallery, and this solved it after about 15 hours of bashing my head against the keyboard.
I am planning to use the font Segoe UI (Included with Vista/Windows 7 and Office products) in my new businesses logo and website. I've tried my hardest to find out if/who to license this font from and was hoping anyone more experienced could give me some advice.
Segoe UI is not for sale, and only available pre-packaged with certain Microsoft products. Therefore, if you don't have it already, buying a copy of Windows 7 would be a legitimate way of obtaining Segoe UI for use on the computer you install it on.
Once you have a legitimate copy of the font in your possession, feel free to use it to create whatever graphics or designs you like, including your logo. (Fonts are licensed like software, so a font license does not specify what you can do with artwork produced using the font, just as Photoshop's license doesn't specify what you can do with artwork produced using Photoshop; as long as you legally are entitled to have the font installed on your computer, you can produce any artwork you like with it).
However, embedding the font (such as by including it on a website with @font-face) would require an additional license because it would involve making and distributing a copy of the font (and providing the font file to other people's computers) which most certainly is restricted and subject to the license of the font. And you won't be able to buy such a license because Segoe UI is not available for this.
For fallback, you could use an alternative font that bears a similarity to Segoe UI. Segoe UI itself bears a resemblance to the commercial fonts Frutiger and Myriad. The free (open licensed) font Noto Sans is a decent alternative to any of these.
