FynrDzynrParticipantG’day Joe!
Many years ago when I was preparing a business plan, I was told that Times New Roman was one of the easiest fonts for English speakers to read. Any font without serifs is supposed to be more difficult to read.
The choices now available are overwhelming. If you do an online search for “fonts AND readability” you’ll be inundated.
But there’s more to it than readability & legibility. We now need to consider how it will render on smart devices etc
and which extended characters does it support . . .

bainoParticipantIn my opnion, trades people need something quick and uncomplex on plans to read directions. Arial is as good as any font to start with. I don’t like to disagree with my aussie colleague, but serif is for books.

Back to your question Joe, (and I am not sorry for the rant)
I use Graphite ATT / it is a True Type font and seems to work OK. I do have issues with the program retaining it’s assigned use, but it works and I have customized a variety of ‘sizes’.
It comes in a couple of different styles (light is one).
I believe it has a nice ‘architectural’ look to it and is ledgeable.
Do a search for Graphite ATT. Add it to your fonts and then create a mess of differnt sizes.
I have from .04 / .06 / .08 up to .14 / / .15 I do not enter fractions for size just decimals. I make one up including resized arrow heads and then ‘make copy’ of it to generate the rest. All you then have to do is type in new ‘size’ and make sure to rename it. I just use the font size as the new name.
Sample attached.
