You can tell I'm bored.

Lucida Sans. 12pt. Bold. Italic.

Century Gothic, due to having a's that the kids can write instead of draw.

Optima for adult materials, Century Gothic for young kids.
Garamond for personal stuff.

Lucida Sans is boring because of the even stroke width.

Arial, because I see it all day and have been condition to like it. Its not upsetting or disruptive.

Quote:
Arial is everywhere. If you don't know what it is, you don't use a modern personal computer. Arial is a font that is familiar to anyone who uses Microsoft products, whether on a PC or a Mac. It has spread like a virus through the typographic landscape and illustrates the pervasiveness of Microsoft's influence in the world.

Arial's ubiquity is not due to its beauty. It's actually rather homely. Not that homeliness is necessarily a bad thing for a typeface. With typefaces, character and history are just as important. Arial, however, has a rather dubious history and not much character. In fact, Arial is little more than a shameless impostor.

I'll second Tony's favorite--I use it all the time when no other font will do.

Least favorite font: Comic Sans Serif.

I probably use Arial Black the most in design. My favourite sans serif font though is Bell Gothic.
