What type of font is used in apa papers?

The APA style guide doesn't specify a particular font *type* (like Times New Roman, Arial, etc.). However, it does have very specific requirements for font *characteristics*:

* Font: A serif font is preferred (like Times New Roman), but sans-serif fonts (like Arial) are acceptable.

* Font Size: 12 points.

* Spacing: Double-spaced throughout the entire paper, including the title page, abstract, body, references, and footnotes.

Here are some examples of common, APA-compliant fonts:

* Serif fonts: Times New Roman, Cambria, Georgia, Garamond

* Sans-serif fonts: Arial, Calibri, Helvetica, Tahoma

Ultimately, the best font for your APA paper is a matter of preference and readability. Choose a font that you find easy to read and that doesn't distract from the content of your paper.
