What font do you use? (riveting I know)

[MrsJackRackham]

I use Georgia size 10 at the moment for work. I fancy a change. What do you use?

TNR is awful. It looks so cramped and old fashioned and yet not vintage in a good/stylish way, just fusty.

@JoysOfString my husband loves fonts etc.

If your into art work and typography check out sed lester and Ben Ennis

prawn that is gorgeous!

Thanks rachey I will :)

I use Georgia too, I really like it. Looks classy somehow.

I have two jobs, one workplace uses TNR by default (but no rule that says you have to) and I hate it, so old-fashioned and small.

The other uses Arial by default (again no rule) and I much prefer it or Calibri.

Used Verdana for years, but now Tahoma. Size 8 for big Excel spreadsheets.

I like Georgia too, but it’s not that easy to read for big documents.

Outlook set to Calibri as standard so I leave it.

Ariel for uni, Century Gothic for work - it's my favourite font and totally against the style guide but who cares

@JoysOfString silly auto correct. It's Seb lester

I don’t have to use a font day to day but my all time favourite font from when I was at school and I still love it is curlz mt!
Aren’t I sad to have an all time favourite font!

I've found my people!

Usually Verdana, I do switch sometimes to Arial or even the standard Calibri but I always end up back with Verdana.

I do like a switch up every now and then!

Garamond 12. My first ever boss insisted on it and I haven't ever changed.

TNR for essays, bookman old style for everything else.

Calibri is my preferred font and use that in emails and personal documents but for letters at work I have to use Ariel 11pt or 12pt. Prefer 11pt but get that's too small for some.

We have to use Arial or Calibri at work, although I don't think anyone would be too bothered if I used a similar one. I was taught that Segoe UI is dyslexia-friendly so if I'm making training materials I use that. It's nice and clean as well.

Palatino. Though I'm considering a change, so this thread is timely.

My personal choice is Verdana (and occasionally Ariel), Tahoma in Excel as I prefer the shape of the numbers and I stick with the default Calibri in Outlook.

We are also told that letters and documents should not be justified but a small group of us have rebelled over that. I think unjustified text looks awful

If you mean centre justified, it’s because it creates a river of text that is very hard to read if you are dyslexic.

fonts.google.com/specimen/Quattrocento?selection.family=Quattrocento#glyphs

It looks really crisp and clean which I like.

Ooh, yes, Quattrocento looks très elegant! Might adopt that!

TNR is awful and not that easy to read.

Arial or Calibri (body).

Helvetica or Futura.

Also Candera when I'm writing fiction. It's easy on your eyes when you're staring at a screen for hours on end!

I heard someone on radio explaining that whatever font you most use is the one you end up liking best, and can read most easily, so then all the others look wrong. I have a colleague who uses Arial a lot but it looks wrong to me.

Last year I had a job where Arial dominated, but after a while I started changing fonts in the internal reports & nobody moaned so then we had a flood of documents changing, phew. Calibri is what I mostly read so is easiest for me.

Candara is my favourite
