Which FONT?

[Brian Fantana]

Franklin Gothic Medium is the boy.

You quite obviously want Trebuchet MS, because it has Trebuchet in the name.

Edit: as an aside, it is a lovely day today.

Verdana is the new Times New Roman

not sure how or why, ones serif one isn't. its a not a purist thing, serif fonts are easier to read in print, while sans serif are easier on screen.

though i like the trebuchet font, futura is my fav but doesnt work for wall of text documents. i think for that you have to stay with arial or verdana.

If your printing, then Century Gothic as it uses 30% less ink

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

I like Cambria and occasionally Arial Narrow

 

[BHAMAN]

I like Garamond – I think it’s a good mix modern and traditional

Modern? It's a 16th Century typeface.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Tahoma for me, although I did have a Trebuchet phase.

Ah, this is a decision to take your time over. I recommend watching this film

followed by a thorough read of this book

before making a call.

I've read most of that.

As a font nerd, it completely cooked my head.

We used TNR12 at work for years but finally moved over to Verdana10 just over a year ago for all documents

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Use WingDings.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

I have fond memories of Zapf Dingbats.

Just for the name, mainly. And the bullets.

Optima!

Corporate design docs in work require me to use Tahoma or Calibri depending on what I'm working on.

Which is why I send plain texts emails and use Arial in Word documents, because I suspect that I'm the only other person to have ever read the design docs than the person who wrote them; who has since been laid off...

Tahoma
Verdana

Calibri

Nah. Proper type, like on a typewriter ... Courier. The BIBLE was typed in Courier. By God.
