There are specific fonts that are considered almost universal for many purposes. Consider the following list:
- Times New Roman
- Arial Black
- Arial
- Comic Sans MS
- Courier New
- Impact
- Verdana
You don’t have to be a font geek (insert Brick Heck whispering “font geek” here) to know any of the above fonts. They aren’t just popular, they are used across the board for so many things. Imagine a world without Times New Roman or Arial? Shudder.
