For regular text, something sans-serif that is not fixed width like Calibri.
For code or numbers, a fixed width sans-serif font like Consolas or Inconsolata.
Serif fonts definitely have their place, far away from technical documents.
It feels like low effort to use the default Office font when there are so many other options, but in my sans serif font tests Calibri ended up looking the best so far. I really didn't want to like it! Curious where you think serif fonts belong? I don't know shit about fonts/graphic design...
I prefer serif fonts in fiction and humanities, but maybe thatβs just my STEM bias showing.
gotcha. Serif fonts seem more readable to me in every setting, but they also look stuffy. Β―\(γ)/Β―
