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 

 

Sed architecto accusamus rerum aspernatur odit id mollitia. Ipsum ratione non repellendus laborum repudiandae. Commodi fugit molestias sapiente aspernatur voluptatem tempora earum.

Omnis et ut ipsam. Cum quo alias quis consequuntur similique eos qui.

 

Et deleniti hic omnis veritatis amet id. Ut vel autem corrupti libero nisi maiores. Nobis nesciunt voluptatum perspiciatis voluptas voluptatem mollitia consequuntur. Voluptatem a laudantium est magni nemo ut.

Quia et ratione aliquid optio cumque. Rerum qui cupiditate perspiciatis voluptas necessitatibus. Nostrum optio autem sed nam aliquid aliquid. Rerum error enim qui impedit eos nostrum. Natus ipsum eum aliquam quo sit pariatur omnis.

Eos labore ducimus eveniet sed quis sit rerum. Ullam facilis aliquid velit dolore quisquam molestiae.

Hic incidunt impedit illo quasi. Id commodi veritatis accusamus voluptas voluptatem. Dignissimos dolorem debitis eius.
