How to Pick the Right Font for the Job

Even in MS Word projects like reports, the font choice can make the difference between an impactful, professional looking document to an amateurish and distracting piece. Which one would you like your boss to have in his hands?

Graphic and web designers have a knack for picking font types, because of the quantity of work they go through and the hard-learned lessons they've accumulated through their years of experience.
