Thinking More Deeply:

3. Think of the font you most commonly use when working on your computer. Which one is it and why do you use that one?

    I use Arial mostly because of it being plain, I like its simplisticness, their's nothing special to it, unlike another one like this one, it feels like it should be put on something formal and boring(It's Courier font if you want to know). While Arial font is meant for everything it looks like. Another reason why is cause it's in between all of the other fonts, its not too fancy, while also not being formal, a good for all scenario.
