How can I change the font in latex?

Question

My question somehow divides into two small questions. I first do not get how I can change my font in latex (I'm working with overleaf). But in addition I wanted to ask if there is the font "univers". If not is there a possibility to integrate this font because we explicitly need this for our paper.

P.s. it is a math paper, so I have mathematic formulas in it.

Thank you for your help.

Since you're using Overleaf, here is their support page listing some of the font options: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Font_typefaces#Reference_guide.

You can use them by calling the respective package: \usepackage{lmodern} (for the latin modern font).

It seems like Univers is not included (probably due to licensing), but Universalis (https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/universalis) should look similar.

Here is a working example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % higher quality font encoding
\usepackage[sfdefault]{universalis} % load the font and set it to default

\begin{document}

This is a Universalis test. Here's some math: \[1+1=3\]
