For regular text, something sans-serif that is not fixed width like Calibri.
For code or numbers, a fixed width sans-serif font like Consolas or Inconsolata.
Serif fonts definitely have their place, far away from technical documents.
It feels like low effort to use the default Office font when there are so many other options, but in my sans serif font tests Calibri ended up looking the best so far. I really didn't want to like it! Curious where you think serif fonts belong? I don't know shit about fonts/graphic design...
FYI, the new official Office default is Aptos. I've been making work docs with it for a few weeks and I have to admit, it looks really clean and technical.

I didn't know that! It's going in the pile for further consideration.
