In your opinion, which font works best for quotations/ estimates?

The same as you use for everything else

Its usually the price which is most important.

But, a fixed space font like courier can be useful to get everything lining up nice. Alternatively, stick with the simple favourites like Times Roman or Arial.

Times New Roman is awful and looks dated, nothing wrong with Arial or Tahoma

Printed or on-screen?

Textual descriptions in a nice serif like Times or Garamond, price lines in a sans like Arial/Helvetica (as near as damn-it to be identical) or Frutiger.

Then maybe a synopsis of the prices in Shatter or Old English? 😉

Trebuchet

its easier on the eye.

So you're recommending two fonts designed for screen by MS, over a properly designed for-press (print) font?

wayne: if you're just bashing out word documents for this, use Times New Roman or Arial, pretty safe.

Tahoma, Verdana and Trebuchet are all gash yet oft recommended.

what font is this?

I like Calibri but not sure who designed it 🙂

I use Arial on screen, but somehow I like Times New Roman for print, for me it's easier to read.
