How about a nice mix of Papyrus and Copperplate? Show your versatility!
Srsly, my usual go-to font is Georgia, even for print stuff. I like the higher mean line compared to Times, (which... screams MS Windows!).

I'm such a revolutionary mind.
Like most people, I generally go with Calibri. Especially good since it's the default font on MS Word these days (I think). I'm not sure than Times New Roman holds the same formal necessity that it used to.
W...Why would you do that? You evil, diabolical person.purf said:You know, there are people who think you will go to hell for this.

I also like Georgia, it's not viewed as generic like Times New Roman and has a little more style IMO.purf said:

Times New Roman because it's professional and standard for written documents.
I don't understand why so many people dislike Times New Roman so much. Overuse perhaps?
Anyways, here's my suggestion: 9pt Constantia for body text, 12pt Arial Bold for headers. Make your name nice and big and your contact info about the same visual power as the headers. Don't forget that white space is your friend.
