I am now the reluctant owner of a team-wide template document

But that means I get to choose the damn font

DEATH TO CAMBRIA

@fobo I mean Cambria isn't bad. It isn't like Times New Roman or something.

I recommend Georiga, Bookman Old Style, or Baskerville (BUT NOT BASKERVILLE OLD STYLE, IT IS AN EYESORE)

@Canageek

Oof, Baskerville old face is bad news

It's just that we have a dozen or more templates, all in Calibri 10.5 (why 10.5? why not 11?), and this one in friggin Cambria and it makes me nuts

But then I'm a sans serif kinda guy.

@fobo @Canageek I mean, I don't think Cambria is necessarily *that* bad taken on it's own merits (better than Calibri at least) but they're both so ubiquitous now that it screams "I didn't care enough about this to change the font"

Kinda like how Times New Roman *used* to be before MS made the switch

@karyl @Canageek

I guess the thing that I'm bugged by is that these are legal documents that we executed regularly, and having a uniform template style across agreements, to my eye, reflects professionalism. It's jarring to have a standard font style but for one weird-ass document.

Of course, my university went hogwild and hired a firm to *design three new fonts* for their marketing campaign, all of which are hideously ugly abominations based on some sort of 70s retrofuturist aesthetic
