I mean, my font can do that too? :P

Also I feel like it's a happy typeface, unlike your Garamond, which I deem wayyy too serious. :P

Comic Sans is best as it can be used on ATAR Notes

Georgia is quite similar to Garamond, but certainly not the same, and not as good. I can't argue with your logic regarding Comic Sans, Calebark.

I just use whatever the default font is on Word - Calibri? It's easy to read. I also find it easier to pick up mistakes, but that might be because it is the font I use the most frequently.

Nope. I have to disagree. Garamond was the trademark of my modern and ancient teacher. No matter what, he used it (to the point it become an in class joke, and he was not my favourite teacher.... I'm sorry. 😐) Garamond gives me anxiety, I am very happy to now leave it in the past haha

I'm a Calibri type of girl- simple and minimalistic just like how I like it.

Arial is also a sight for sore eyes

Comic sans is disgusting. Literally any other font would be better. Guess what other fonts can be used on AtarNotes: this one, this one, this one, and even... (you guessed it...) THIS ONE.

ok, but why is this font called trebuchet ms? It doesn't make any sense.

At least comic sans has a logical name

That's why it be the best.

On a more serious note, nothing can compete with helvetica neue.

Change my mind.
I think everyone has their preferences of font.  Personally I like the ones that slightly mimic handwriting.
What's your favourite Greek letter used in school?  For example my teachers often use theta and alpha in Maths for angles, same with delta and in Physics there's also been gamma etc.

I personally write purely in emojis; observe:

If forced to communicate below the Ascended Planes, I'd use Euphemia or Arial.

Delta for sure, what about you? But I'd have to disagree about fonts mimicking handwriting. They annoy me.
