I work at a consulting engineering firm and write a lot of reports that are read by the public. I have an opportunity to recommend a different font for all of our written documents and am looking for something more modern/fresh than Times New Roman. Also open to recommendations for purpose specific communities about typography/fonts.

Thanks for the font rec. I despise Word but have colleagues who would be unable to function in something like LaTeX. Oh well...

There is an OTF version, it's just not bundled w/ anything by default as far as I'm aware.

Available here: https://ctan.org/pkg/kpfonts-otf?lang=en
