Without ClearType enabled, Segoe UI is only marginally acceptable. With ClearType enabled, Segoe UI is an elegant, readable font. Segoe UI is optimized for ClearType, which is on by default in Windows. It was designed to be a humanist sans serif with no strong character or distracting quirkiness. The typeface is meant to give the same visual effect on screen and in print. It has the characteristics of a humanist sans serif: the varying widths of its capitals (narrow E and S, for instance, compared with Helvetica, where the widths are more alike, fairly wide) the stress and letterforms of its lowercase and its true italic (rather than an 'oblique' or slanted roman, like many industrial-looking sans serifs). Segoe UI is an approachable, open, and friendly typeface, and as a result has better readability than Tahoma, Microsoft Sans Serif, and Arial.
