I was exactly the same. First I hated it and now I think it's quite slick and decently readable.

I was always more of an Arial and Century Gothic man, sometimes Times New Roman.

I'm iffy on the popularity of Garamond even though Harry Potter used it. It's a little vertically squashed.

I also used to be a habitual abuser of Impact and Snap ITC which were great for Primary School projects.

Probably. I have a shit eye for such things to be honest.

It's just what I've used without knowing what's actually considered universally aesthetically pleasing and readable on both screen and print.

>> No.412333

Garamond or Book Antiqua, 12pt. Occasionally Sylfaen.

My laboratory boss had me label anything and everything that stood still for more than thirty seconds, which took me a number of days. I did it in Book Antiqua, which utterly no one noticed. It pisses me off when someone else has to relabel something because they usually do it in Times New Roman. Sticks out like a sore thumb, looks like crap. And I'm still the only one who notices.

Sans serif font types are shit for large amounts of reading. Arial and all of those fonts are fine for posters, but you need serifs for essays and the like.

Also, reread the fucking post. This forum clearly needs to be in a serif font so you can read better.

Too many favourites, man.

I use Times New Roman for all formal work, at 12pt.
I use 11pt for everything else.
Didot is for personal use & for résumés.
Courier is usually for non-formal school work (notes, outlines, and the like).
I don't usually use sans serif, but if I have to it's Helvetica Neue or Optima

You guys convinced me to try Calibri, and I've gotta say it looks easier to read on the screen. I'll change my noted to that font.

I shall keep handing in my essays to my proffessor in a serif style font such as Times New Roman, because it's easier to read a paper with serifs than a paper without serifs, but I may change from Times New Roman too.

Calibri used to be my default until I switched to serif almost exclusively. I just checked and my computer doesn't seem to have Calibri installed anymore? I specifically remember loving it when I first got my Macbook. Weird.
