What is the default font at your firm?

At my firm it is Georgia for pitch books, excel sheets and emails.

TBH, it looks great and you can cram a page with lots of info, but numbers look weird because they don't have a uniform vertical alignment.

I think Lazard uses Garamond which is pretty, but its italics look odd.

Wingdings. It looks like hieroglyphics at first, but you grow to love them.

Calibri, when we aren't using our own font, which is default for pitch books, presentations, etc. Our custom font looks better, IMO.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
