This is the first Microsoft sans serif family to include a true italic feature, rather than just tilting roman glyphs. The font was loosely influenced by sans-serif designs from the 1920s and 1930s.

The typeface’s letterforms have a large x-height, along with clean lines that will allow for easy legibility, even at small sizes.

Also included in Microsoft’s design package for Web fonts, Trebuchet was made available free of charge. It remained one of the most popular body text fonts on web pages as of 2009. In Windows XP’s default theme, Trebuchet MS replaced MS Sans Serif and Tahoma. It was last updated on May 1, 2001, and now supports the WGL4 character set and Greek and Cyrillic languages. This font has been updated many times since its design. The Trebuchet font has four different styles. Basically, it is a humanist sans-serif typeface named after a medieval siege engine known as a trebuchet. The Trebuchet MS typeface was designed in 1996 by Vincent Connare for Microsoft Corporation.
