Times New Roman is standard, followed by Arial.

For some other fonts that look decent but take up more space, try:

Verdana
Courier New

and my personal favorite, Prestige Elite!

The way to make essays longer comes not with fontages and extended lettering techniques, nor with the techniques associated with spacing of aforementioned fonts and letterings. Extending an essay requires the dedication associated with writing words that are perspicacious and interminable words and phrases. By extending your vocabulary proficiency and demonstrating the art of such proficient inscription, you can turn a simple notion that would normally consume one sentence or fragment thereof, and convert it into a full-fledged paragraph.

Understand?

To augment my previous statement, I should also mention that by writing in such a style, you can avoid such blunders, such as giving the impression of being an ignoramus, as would be indicative with using large print styles (a.k.a. fonts) and/or large print sizes (i.e. size).

the standard is times new roman, size 12.

changing your font or the size or the margins means you haven't written enough.

Courier New.

Has wider spacing between the letters. Sister taught me that one freshman year...

Many computer-savvy teachers these days will deduct points if you have obviously tried to "pad" your essay by using a large font or overly-ample margins. I suggest that you should alter the content of your essay, not its appearance.

Verdana is wider ... and combined with an unperceptible 1.2 - 1.3 line spacing, you are in essay heaven. :)

usually i write the entire essay and then begin messing around with the fonts and spacing. i go with 2.1 spacing and 11pt Ariel. and it's always ample enough to get an A for my term papers. if i wrote too much, then i adjust the font accordingly. :)

I'd just hand in a blank thumb drive, and when they say there's nothing on it, I'd say "Fuck if I know. It was on there this morning, and it was the only copy".
