HI. The going professional wisdom that when we apply for university we should “keep it simple” by using, for the essays, fonts like Arial or Times New Roman.

I find both of them hideous! I am thinking of using something that looks similar to Times New Roman, but a little smarter, sharper. Nothing too decorative, just a smart professional font that my company does use in its business communication.

My question: would using a professional corporate font be a risky strategy? Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!
