Favourite font..?

[sarah707]

I am designing something and thought I would ask people what their favourite font is...

I usually use Century Gothic for my writing, I quite like this one (Verdana) and I often use Comic Sans for children's forms.

What about you guys? :D

We are the most unprofessional bunch of professionals then, and i am not changing!

[PixiePetal]

Well I am unprofessional too then as I use comic sans for nearly everything :D

Occasionally verdana, for official letters - more professional :thumbsup: :laughing:

[Chatterbox Childcare]

I like Tahoma or Arial for documents and if I am designing things for the children use all sorts including Bookmans Gothic, Century and Wingdongs!

[Pudding Girl]

Comic Sans for newsletters, TNR for proformas - used to use Footlight but haven't got it any more, must download it!

theres a lot of advice on this document about print , typeface spacing and contrast which can help people with poor eyesight...might be worth taking into account. its about page 20 i think.

No offence at all, should have put a little laughing smilie at the end cos I thought it was funny that people are so shallow in some things to judge a persons professionalism by the font they like the look of! :laughing: Even in my non childminding professional career (have to be careful how i worded that) I used it, just like it to look at and find it easy to read!:laughing: Just made me laugh the number of us that do use it.

[WibbleWobble]

I use Lucida sans


i have called it lucinda for years!:blush:

[Chimps Childminding]

I use Tahoma for most things, but like Comic Sans for newsletters or any notes home!!!
