I believe the primary job of a product designer is to drive behavior , not build functionality. You should be measuring your success in terms of the quality of the resulting behavior, not the quality of your deliverables.
When Times New Roman appears in a book, document, or advertisement, it connotes apathy. It says, “I submitted to the typeface of least resistance.” Times New Roman isn’t a typeface choice so much as the absence of a typeface choice, like the blackness of deep space isn’t a color. To look at Times New Roman is to gaze into the void.
