 I've been wondering if the new generation of law review article editors prefer (or hate) certain fonts when they look at a submitted manuscript. When I ask other law profs what they do, I get as many different answers as people I ask. I'm sure the content of the manuscript is what matters most, but do editors sort of like it if a manuscript looks like the final articles they publish (page proofs) at their journal, in terms of fonts and margins? 
I'm pretty curious about what Gen Z journal editors think.

I'm a professor, so I may not be the target audience for this question. However, I prepare all drafts in Times New Roman unless I see that a journal specifically asks for something else. The journals adjust to their preferred fonts when they prepare the edited article for publication.
