I agree with anyone who says something sensible, where I agree with you
that Zaidy's helpful link will likely have some nice goodies for us.

Regarding clock fonts, on Windows 10, for privacy, I randomly change the
time zone, so I have a separate clock where I had tested all the free
clocks ever suggested on this ng, some of which have custom fonts.
 1. clocx <http://www.clocx.net>
 2. dsclock <http://www.dualitysoft.com> 
 3. t-clock <https://github.com/White-Tiger/T-Clock/releases>

My summary of those three wonderful free clock apps is as follows:
 1. clocx has a very simple yet configurable analog desktop clock
 2. dsclock has a more robust configurable digital desktop clock
 3. t-clock has a very robust configurable digital taskbar clock

I have free timers & stopwatches also, but DSClock is in my taskbar.
I've tried these taskbar clocks and found dsclock to fit my needs best.

While dsclock sits anywhere, when you put it on top of the taskbar, 
you might then want to match the font sizes and background colors.

I don't know where fonts, sizes and taskbar colors are set, but
empirical testing on my taskbar resulted in these syntax choices.
Display syntax = #085|ddd ddMMM  or ddd dd|#085 or dddMMMdd|[#085]
Font & size = Segoe UI Semibold 9 pt
Taskbar = R=35, G=57, B=66, Hex=233942 H=195 S=46 V=25 Opacity=255
Notification = R=47 G=68 B=77 Hex=2F444D H=198 S=38 V=30 Opacity=255
 [x] Use custom font
 [x] Use custom colors
 [x] Load program on startup
 [x] Lock right border
 [x] Always on top

Here's a screenshot from today showing how the taskbar fonts are matched.
