What's the best font for financial dashboards?

Just curious what everyone thinks is the best font to use for dashboards, especially financial dashboards with a lot of numbers. 

 

We currently use the the default Segoe UI and all our reports are set to "Fit to Page" and it doesn't really look very crisp and clean especially in a table with a lot of numbers. 

 

Interested in knowing any best practices around this.

I find that the colour of font can have an impact also. The default black is #000000 but I find a lighter shade such as #333333 to be more visually appealing.

Thanks. So I guess it's either Arial or Calibri per the guide. Will give it a try and see. 

One reason I had avoided the other fonts was because of the lack of a bold version for all other fonts except Segoe UI in Power BI but I might be able to manage without that. 

@vickyd sounds good. keep me posted what you decided to do? Always curious to learn from others on how they do stuff. Good luck!
