The Department of Commerce spent $14.8 billion in fiscal year (FY) 2024. This was 0.2% of the $6.78 trillion in overall federal spending. The department ranked 22nd among federal agencies in total spending.
“ The Department of Commerce accounted for 0.2% of all federal spending in FY 2024.

The Department of Commerce’s federal spending in FY 2024 was higher than in FY 1980. Yearly federal net spending by DOC, adjusted for inflation (2024 dollars), FYs 1980–2024.
The style of Utility is inspired by the constructed, industrial and rational typefaces like for example Eurostile or Din 1451. The superellipse structure of the curves lend his typeface that typical technical look, but with a slightly humanistic touch. This humanistic touch was achieved by veering away from the con-struction-based model through handwriting motives. For example the outgoing stroke on the lowercase ‘e’ breaks out of the grid and infuses some dynamism into the letterform.
By opening up the end strokes he lets the characters breathe and improves their legibility. The family has 7 weights and is ideally suited for film & tv, editorial & publishing, logo, branding & corporate design as well as sports. Utility provides advanced typographical support with features such as ligatures, alternate characters, case-sensitive forms, fractions, super- and subscript characters, and stylistic alternates. It comes with small caps and a complete range of figure set options – oldstyle and lining figures, each in tabular and proportional widths.
Quantum computing is an emerging field that is ripe for some Nobel recognition, according to David Pendlebury, head of research analysis at Clarivate’s Institute for Scientific Information. Utility Pro| Medium | 11
This year, he tipped two physicists for their work on quantum bits, or qubits, the basic unit of information used to encode data in quantum computing: David P. DiVincenzo, a professor at the Institute for Quantum Information at RWTH Aachen University in Germany, and Daniel Loss, a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Basel in Switzerland.
“There’s certainly, of course, a lot of anticipation of quantum computing, and probably, for that matter, a lot of hype, but I went back to these extremely highly cited papers, and I think this one by DiVincenzo and Loss was cited almost 10,000 times, an astronomical number,” Pendlebury said, referring to a 1998 study in the journal Physical Review A. “Their insight was to use qubits as the fundamental mechanism of making a quantum computer.”
Other pioneers in the field include David Deutsch, a visiting professor of physics at the Centre for Quantum Computation at the UK’s University of Oxford, who shared the 2023 Breakthrough Prize in fundamental physics. Utility Pro | Regular | 11

“Forecasting models have become more accurate... and that’s certainly due to tech advancements,” says Steven Smith, chief executive of US-based Accuweather. His business has been forecasting weather since 1962, when its first customer was a natural gas company that wanted to be able to better plan for winter demand. “The ultimate goal at the extreme end is to help save lives and protect property, all the way to helping people make the best weather impact decisions, for example, ‘do I need an umbrella, do I need to leave early?’.” Over at the UK’s Met Office, one of its biggest tech developments over the last year has been improving its digital weather maps and the data it pours into them.

“You can see where the weather is moving in real time, and where it’s coming towards you,” says Sophie Yeomans-Smith, product manager at Met Office’s app. “If there’s a huge downpour you can look at the live rain forecast and see where it’s heading. “We’ve been improving the tech underpinning it all, and changed host providers to help us make improvements. It used to be one day ahead that it would show, now it’s five days.” In a bid to tailor its products more, the Met Office has introduced dedicated beach and mountain forecasts.

“The mountains data says things like what the weather at the top of the mountains, and at ground level, will be like.” Sophie YeomansSmith says the Met Office now offers members of the public more real time data. Meanwhile, the Met Office announced in August that it had joined forces with Scottish airline Loganair to further bolster its forecast accuracy. Sensors fitted to Loganair’s aircraft monitor environmental conditions around the planes during flights.

One often discussed candidate for the Nobel Prize is the mapping of the human genome, an audacious project that launched in 1990 and was completed in 2003. Cracking the genetic code of human life involved an international consortium of thousands of researchers in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan and China.
