Designer:  In-house
Fontsmith
Typography:  EFL Sans
New Latin Wave
Sofia Sans
Launched:  4 May 2024

DTV dropped Aptos a few months after Microsoft announced it as its default font for documents. Though DTV had adopted the sleek font suite before Microsoft did, the channel changed it to the more rounded EFL Sans, saying that "a few years down the line, using Aptos will likely be as unprofessional as using Calibri exclusively now."

The network premiered new graphics and idents on 4 May 2024, on the date of the Haluatko miljonääriksi? 25th anniversary celebratory series, and before Eurovision week. In changing its logo, it made the surprise choice to bring back a modified version of its 1990s typeface New Latin Wave for its logo, if everything else remained in sans-serif.
