Which font do you prefer to use? I'm led to believe you're either one or the other; much like whether you like marmite or not! :D

Times New Roman

or

Arial

Yeah tahoma a nice font, but for some reason verdana works on anything :)

Though if you want the IN font it has to be HelveticaNeue :thumbs:

Si :)

I used to like Tahoma/Verdana, and as a web font still do - make it small and increase the line spacing for clarity.

The nicest body font I've ever found for printed text is called Frutiger. It's a commercial font, but there's a copy available somewhere on the web. :)

Verdana / Tahoma for me too :)

But Arial from those choices, Times New Roman is a horrible and ugly font!

Bugger - no wonder I'm not getting enough job offers - I use Times New Roman on my CV!

Times if foul, arial is good for pretty much anything.

However, for one of my clients I use Zurich EXBT 24, Humans 521 (12pt) and Futura 8. That combination works really well.

Some of the best are crap on the web, so much more effective in print. Bimini for example.

apparently for printed material TNR (well, any serif font) works best on the eye. easiest to read quickly...

but lets not turn this into a geeky typography thread ok? ;)
