Something sans-serif is a must. Unless you're in 8th grade typing class, using TNR is a good way to get your competence called into question.

How did nobody list some of the fonts on DaFont?

I like to do my business in El Rio Lobo under the Mexican Fonts btw.

Rule of thumb I've always used is Times New Roman 12 for printed documents and Arial or Calibri for email and PowerPoint slides.

Sanskrit.

Droz: Sanskrit? You are majoring in a 5000 year old dead language?

Sanskrit Major: Yeah.

Droz: [ Searches through a pile of theses] Latin, best I can do.

Verdana or Georgia


I use Chiller for the very important documents, though.

This is my preferred font and I read somewhere that it’s the best for persuasive writing. Forget why.

Arial 9 or 10 for our internal docs and client deliverables exclusively.

No clue about emails. I think it's Calibri.

It's the font most textbooks and news paper headlines use so people automatically associate it with respect and truth.

Everyone should be using 9 - 10 pt font. Many use 12 pt and it looks terrible.
