The primary typefaces used in NI Software for Windows are Segoe UI and Verdana.
Localized application typefaces
For non-latin based languages (or languages the don’t use an English-like alphabet), the default typeface varies. Fallback typefaces are also provided in case the user does not have the primary font installed.
IDE typography
Segoe UI is the standard typeface for the application UI and documents that are not canvas-style documents.
