Dear Editors,
I’ve been using a lot of Montserrat and Open Sans (because Gotham is so done), but my feeling is they come off as too confident. I really need a potential interviewer to smell blood in the water, like I’ll do anything for a paycheck.
Arial Narrow might work, as it gets you just outside of typical choices and the diminished width conveys a subtle deprecating air.
Trebuchet is kind of a mess and gives me an insecure vibe, yet is passable enough for a résumé.
Actually, Calibri seems to project the right amount of low self-esteem, but as a default font I don’t think I could sell it as sophisticated in any way.
I’d appreciate any suggestions you might have, and please don’t say Times New Roman.
