Reverting Aptos +body/+headings font back to Calibri, or using any other font

At some point in the last couple of days, the default +body/+headings font on my copy of Office 365 changed to the Aptos font. I honestly find it a bit hard to read, and I'd rather choose my default body font from a choice of whatever fonts I have installed. Failing that, I'd take Calibri again. The Aptos font reminds me a lot of

Since this affects all Office products, I can't say go into Outlook and change the stationery fonts; this doesn't impact the Reading Pane. It also wouldn't impact say Word, where I'd have to come up with my own document template to override the change. It doesn't seem to be a registry edit or template file edit, either. Is there a spot that the Aptos font can be changed?

    When you use the Change Styles commands, make sure that the insertion point is in the text of the e-mail you are composing.

    In particular, the insertion point must not be inside the fields for recipients or subject.

    To make the text appear larger, increase the text zoom. This can be done for emails that you are composing as well as for emails that you are reading (in the preview pane).

    In a new email which is open in a separate window, go to the Format Text tab and click Zoom. In the dialog box, choose the value you prefer.

    Similarly, to change the zoom in email messages that you are viewing, use the Zoom While Reading dialog box to set the preferred zoom. To display the dialog box, click the zoom control on the bottom right of your Outlook window.
