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
