When I use metropolis, I pair it with Calibri, a Windows system font. My 
needs are very simple and I don't need a specific math font. I find that 
Calibri is pleasant when projected on a screen and it has a nice Italic 
for a sans-serif font. Because it is a Windows font, I compile my 
presentations with XeLaTeX.
