I work at a consulting engineering firm and write a lot of reports that are read by the public. I have an opportunity to recommend a different font for all of our written documents and am looking for something more modern/fresh than Times New Roman. Also open to recommendations for purpose specific communities about typography/fonts.

Some of my favorite fonts were designed by Vernon Adams.

He passed away in 2016 but I always remember his fonts. I didn't know him personally but after using his fonts for years and learning about his passing, l felt very sad. Take a look, you might like some of his fonts.

Thanks for the recs. I thought one of the fonts in the link was called Potato Sans, so now that one is my new personal favorite forever, even if it's actually called Pontano Sans. :D
