What type of font do you use for your email?

[Danuru]

"sans serif" is a typography thing, actually. Sans for "no" and serif for dangly bits on letters. Easier to read on a screen if sans serif.

If that's what you think it takes. Meanwhile I'll still be annoyed.

So... "Sans serif" means "no dangly bits?" So... It's a female font?

[Super Kami Dende]

Arial Black, with extra black bold and black italics.

Metal as fuck.

Are you talking about what your email client displays for you locally or are you trying to be one of those annoying employees that actually sends out different font types in their emails? I swear to god, if I get an email that's not whatever default font, I will strangle another kitten.

i use a draenei blood font. dipped in the blood of baby draeneis.

[Kellorion]

Franklin Gothic Medium

[downnola]

Times 12 for everything. Everything.

But why? You want to stand out in the crowd so you can get promotions. By just going with the default it shows a lack of creativity.

Would be pretty annoying if people used different fonts.

not to mention how unprofessional it looks.

stand out with your friends /acquaintances, be professional @ work or with bosses.

occasionally some sort of job might be looking for somebody that stands out, but largely companies want confidence and trust that you wont make the company look bad.

if you are positive the company you are with is looking for stand outs then go for it, but if you are unsure, chances are they dont appreciate that kind of font~fuckery.

i also like to use halloween or medieval style font or olde english font or a script style font. it's the best font for maximum irritation factor.
NOW TRY AND READ MY EMAIL BWHAHAHAH!

Yeah, part of the vast conspiracy I think.

Outlook is what most companies use.
You can set a custom font in there.

I'm not sure why people would use different fonts in one email.

In my experience, people who stand out do so with the quality of their work, not by how they present that work.

To be annoying.

that sounds more appropriate than "what if i want to stand out with my emails to get a promotion?"

[Veyne]

Comic Sans.

Both of my company's HR leads (we have two offices) send out internal emails in Comic Sans, I shit you not.

[Shakadam]

Whatever the default in the Win 10 mail client is. Calibri 11pt apparently.

[Dug]

Uh whatever the default gmail font is

I use bone. And the lettering is something called Silian Rail.

Or I'll use Eggshell with Romalian type.

Most of the normies on here will tell you the incorrect answer, Arial 12 point font. However, if you're like me and want to deviate away from the mainstream normative bullshit, then I suggest trying your hand at something with a little more flair. It is called 'chiller' and is bound to make a great first impression. Employers and bosses will admire your creativity. In fact, after sending a multitude of emails with varying fonts, the CEO offered me a position in upper management for my ability to think outside of the box. So, what are you waiting for? That nicely heated/AC office room with the marvelous view of the city is begging for your rump to plop down on the velvet cushion.

Seems like a lot of people at work have custom fonts styles and font colours. What is your choice?

I've been playing around trying to find something I like.

I use the <death> one. I really hope to make clear that nobody has to answer while still alive.
