Segoe UI
Encyclopedia
Segoe is a Humanist typeface
family that is best known for its usage by Microsoft
. The company uses Segoe in their online and printed marketing materials, including recent logos for a number of products. Additionally, the Segoe UI family of fonts are utilized by numerous Microsoft applications, and may be installed by applications (such as Microsoft Office 2007
and Windows Live Messenger 2009
) or bundled with certain operating systems (including Windows Vista
and Windows 7).
The Segoe name is a registered trademark of the Microsoft Corporation, although the typeface was originally developed by Monotype
. It is named after Segoe Road in Madison, Wisconsin
, where one of Monotype's engineers lived.
during his employment at Agfa Monotype
. Licensed to Microsoft for use as a branding typeface and user interface font, it was designed to be friendly and legible. Matteson created a range of weights and italics with a humanist feel.
typeface
used in Microsoft
products for user interface text, as well as for some online user assistance material, designed to improve the consistency in how users see all text across all languages. It is distinguishable from its predecessor Tahoma
and the Mac OS
user interface font Lucida Grande
by its rounder letters. Segoe UI was produced by Monotype Imaging.
Segoe UI is just one of many fonts (at least 27) using the Segoe trademark; others include an extensive range of branding print fonts used internally by Microsoft and their advertising agencies, the Windows Vista
handwriting fonts Segoe Script and Segoe Print, Segoe Chess, a symbol encoded chess font, several Segoe Media Center fonts, and Segoe TV, which is built into MSN TV
set-top-boxes.
Light and Semibold versions of Segoe UI were introduced with Windows 7. In Windows 8
Developer Preview, a Semilight version is introduced, and other variants have been extended to include alternative letterforms, small caps
, ligatures, and so on.
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 pt. in Windows Vista to accommodate for better layout and readability for all languages.
The Windows Vista version of Segoe UI (version 5.00) contains complete Unicode 4.1 coverage for Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Arabic (romans only), totaling 2843 glyphs in the regular weight.
Segoe UI has a true cursive italic, unlike the oblique used in Frutiger
and Helvetica

(Simplified Chinese), Gisha (Hebrew), Leelawadee (Thai). In Windows 7, they are also found in Ebrima (N'Ko, Tifinagh, Vai), Khmer UI (Khmer), Lao UI (Lao), Microsoft New Tai Lue (Tai Lue), Microsoft PhagsPa (Phags-pa), Microsoft Tai Le (Tai Le).
In these fonts some of the glyph shapes diverge significantly from Segoe UI and the Frutiger/Myriad model and are in some ways more calligraphic. In Gisha and Leelawadee the capital M is narrower and has a raised apex, the lowercase i and l have tails, and the capital I has no serifs. These characteristics are also seen in Segoe UI italic.
family of typefaces, licensed by German font foundry Linotype (as of August 2006 a wholly owned subsidiary of Monotype Imaging). In 2004, Microsoft
registered certain Segoe and Segoe Italic fonts as original font designs with the European Union
trademark and design office. Linotype protested, and in February 2006, the EU withdrew Microsoft's registration. In its submission to the EU, Microsoft claimed that Linotype had failed to properly prove that it had been selling Frutiger and Frutiger Next prior to 2004. The EU rejected these claims. It should be noted that the EU looks at type specimens at 16 point size, in which many of the subtle differences of similar fonts are not noticeable; notwithstanding, this also prevents extremely subtle differences, which could be seen as solely for the reason of obtaining legality, from ensuring that the font gets validated. Microsoft did not appeal the decision.
Several letters have very distinct forms in Segoe UI, reflecting the fonts' different intended uses (low-resolution screen display for Segoe UI, airport signage for Frutiger). However, Ulrich Stiehl, an outspoken critic of font plagiarism (who also attacks Linotype and Adobe on his site), has claimed that many of these differences were introduced in more recent versions of the font, while earlier versions were closer to Frutiger.
Simon Daniels, a program manager in Microsoft's typography group, quoted in a November 2005 blog entry, states "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." A Microsoft public relations spokesman, who asked not to be named, stated in April 2006:
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 selling of clone fonts possible.
On August 1, 2006, Monotype Imaging announced that it had acquired Linotype from its parent company. This signaled an end to this chapter in the history of the Segoe fonts.
, Microsoft Office 2010, Windows Vista
or Windows 7. Certain Segoe fonts, but not Segoe UI, were included in Windows XP Media Center Edition
2005, replacing Trebuchet MS
.
Segoe UI is installed into Windows XP
if the user installs Windows Live Messenger
, or Windows Live Mail
, which are available as free downloads. Microsoft Word Viewer
and Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer 2007 install certain Segoe fonts, but not Segoe UI.
An early version of Segoe, possibly an evaluation version, was included with certain versions of SuSE Linux, but no longer ships as part of that operating system. The first company to distribute Segoe, under license from Monotype, was Scala, a Canadian electronic signage company (unrelated to the typeface FF Scala
). On June 7, 2005 Scala announced that Segoe was being removed from its InfoChannel product "due to licensing issues". Scala replaced Segoe with Bitstream Vera
fonts.
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.
Segoe Print, Segoe Script are included with Windows Vista.
Segoe Chess 1.00 is included with Microsoft Office 2007 and 2010.
Retail versions of Segoe families (except original Segoe, Segoe Media Center) are available through Ascender Corporation. On April 13, 2007, Ascender announced the release of Segoe TV.
Segoe News Symbol is included with the "Sample Font Pack" for the Syndicated Client Experiences Starter Kit, made by Ascender Corporation
.
Although Segoe Print, Segoe Script and Segoe UI can be installed on Mac OS (like all TrueType flavor OpenType fonts), Microsoft does not include them with Mac Office or any other Mac product.

- 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.
