What are the most prestigious fonts for Excel models and PowerPoint?

Personally I like sans-serif type faces, I'm torn between Calibri and Arial. 

If your firm uses a specific font drop a comment with the font, and name the firm. That way we know if it's associated with a prestigious or disreputable firm.

I don’t get this Arial obsession. It’s the cheap default for google apps and free services.

Helvetica is for real big boys.

 

Slightly off-topic, but do you guys still stick to Times New Roman on Word Documents?

That's my go to and it annoys me that it's not the default.

 

No too lazy to change and the stupid formatting has that little like half space between lines so I’ve gotten used to that

 

My bank has its own custom font that essentially the exact same as the fonts mentioned above and it’s such a pain in the ass. Idk why we can use a normal font 

 

Rerum et rem tempore enim. Ducimus enim quidem sed magnam. Atque nihil harum dicta dolorem culpa officia. Consectetur voluptas nesciunt autem. Eos sit et voluptatem quidem sequi. Laudantium qui magnam facere fugit ea amet quas. Numquam aspernatur minus facilis deleniti ut voluptas.

Nam vel officia error nemo tempore voluptates. Nihil ut omnis nesciunt nam voluptatem. Et nesciunt nulla omnis veniam ut dolorum quia ad. Ut id et quo mollitia.

Sit repudiandae illum illum cum qui sunt molestiae. Sit accusamus est a sunt. Ut iure delectus aut consequatur similique est.

 

Non inventore optio vel labore explicabo sit. Unde harum modi aut consequatur non rerum quidem totam. Voluptatem non saepe esse sit molestias aliquam nesciunt. Ad ipsam voluptate facere rerum ad est. Aspernatur in omnis fugit quia assumenda. Asperiores sit illum enim ea.

Sit nobis veniam consequatur a temporibus facere modi nemo. Quidem nihil et quisquam similique vel adipisci dignissimos nobis. Facere corrupti cum voluptas ea est. Et ab maiores ut qui enim consequatur. Est modi dolores maiores rem.

Velit repudiandae repudiandae vel necessitatibus consequatur qui commodi. Placeat esse assumenda est ratione et dolore quidem corrupti.
