Times New Roman 12 Font is a good one.

Hi

To be honest a font that looks decent and is medium sized is fine. Being said that I don’t think it’s matters much. I feel that the content is much more important than the formatting. So make the most of the space provided and don’t stress too much : )

So as @codename says TNR 12pt is a great one to use but it doesn't really matter as long as it isn't a wacky font and isn't cursive and the font size should be between 10 and 14. Id also recommend that its double spaced. Though Im not 100% certain you can customize your fonts in most application portals unless you upload it as a file.

Hope this helps!
