How come arial is the best font?

If we want to discuss the "best font", first we must discuss

Context.

Is Arial the best font? Is Comic Sans better than Times New Roman? Is Wingdings more appropriate than Calibri? A font which works for memes may not work for a professional powerpoint presentation. A font which makes blocks of text easy to read may not be suited for a highway billboard or corporate logo. A font's suitability depends on the context in which we're using it.

Without first being clear about the context of our analysis, we cannot say definitely which font is "best".
