First, you can start by asking your teacher what font and size they prefer. In general, most standard academic writing would be font size of 10 or 12 and front of Helvetica or Times Roman. Some schools may require something different so always good to ask. You can also experiment with a font that you like better like Garamond and others if there is no specific requirement in your syllabus or assignment information.

I’ve written many papers in college. In college all my teachers have always told me to use size 11 fonts. If your teacher wants you to use size 12 font, then do what she says. 12 points means size 12 font. Most teachers recommend using the font “Times New Roman”. It’s the most basic font. It’s also the most boring font!! Usually when you start your word program the font is already selected in “Times New Roman”. I hope this can help you!!!

times new roman is the best teachers always use it because it looks better to read never do cursive because it’s way to small and you may think all these other fonts are better but i asked all my teachers what they like and they all said times new roman
