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.

I usually go with Fira Sans for sans serif, if the document I'm writing isn't super formal. Mixes well with Inconsolata for code and Latin Modern (or other serif stuff) for math.
