Trebuchet is a sans serif typeface designed to be easily readable onscreen. It is distinctive and easily recognizable, with its narrow capital letters, its splay-footed ‘M’, its two-story ‘g’ with an open bowl at the bottom, the ‘e’ with an underbite, and the spiky appearance of its ‘v’ and ‘w’. Trebuchet can be used both in body text and in headlines, subheads, and titles. It has a solid, weighty appearance even in its regular weight. Its italic is quite readable. Try using Trebuchet in presentations, spreadsheets, and labels.
Microsoft type designer Vincent Connare designed Trebuchet in 1996, basing it loosely on the sans serif typefaces of the 1920s and 1930s and taking elements of both geometric and humanist letter shapes. It was named after a kind of ancient catapult, with the idea of firing your messages across the internet.
