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.

Arial is the correct answer
Ariel is much more prestigious than Calibri. I also quite like doing models in TNR but I understand that’s controversial
.
Don't trust any model that's not in Arial

If WSO had AI offer content like TikTok I would hope this kind of thread are all I see. Good, wholesome VP humor.
Excel in Arial 8, PPT Arial 10.
Calibri 11 is for uncultured swine who keep gridlines on
.
Verdana Pro (KKR)
.
Calibri is for poors.
Arial only.
I don’t get this Arial obsession. It’s the cheap default for google apps and free services.
Helvetica is for real big boys.
.
Calibri is so busted
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
.
Arial if I’m dropping serifs.
Call me crazy but I like serif fonts more, especially in ppt and word - then need excel to match. Garamond through and through (despite their cheeks italics)
.
If you think I’m sending off decks with my excel outputs in a different font you’re off your gourd
I tell all my analysts on their first day - change your default font for everything to arial. 8 for models, 9 for email and word docs. And change your outlook reply font to the old blue. Not this light blue crap that started with windows 7.
they all think I’m kidding. I’m not.
what kind of stupid question is this?
Surprised I haven’t seen any love for Arial Nova
Build in Arial and change to Papyrus for converting to PDF and sending to banks.
P font
Comic Sans size 18

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
My office uses Arial. I switched it up on a couple decks lately with Cambria and got a few comments about how nice it looks on the slides.
