What is your go to font for Excel models?

Arial 10, don't be extra

Calibri. Serifs are for dense text, otherwise you want that clean look

Calibri. I find tasteful corner-rounding and subtle playfulness just the thing to take the edge off the numbers.

Other questions:

• negative numbers: negative sign or parentheses?
• dollar formatting: currency, accounting, or general?
• commas: yes or no?

Random preferences:

• Century Schoolbook for docs
• emails in plain text
• no Word / PDF attachments when the text can be reasonably added to the body of the email
• if table data inside a Word doc is necessary, tabs over embedded tables (if tabs too complicated you should probably just link to Excel file)

edit: meant Calibri, not Cambria

For work, Arial 10, zoomed 80%, which is pretty standard in the industry. Can't stand models that use Calibri. For my personal Excel workbooks, I also use Segoe UI 11, it has much more spacing compared to Arial and hence is easier to look at; Garamond 12 also produces aesthetic-looking spreadsheets.

Calibri..... god we are fucking nerds
