Oxford Writing rules

Hello everyone
I hope you are all doing well.
Can you please provide me with information on the general rules of writing I should respect when writing my Oxford application documents (Personal Statement and two essays)? I am talking about font type and size, line and paragraph spacing, indent, pages double or single-spaced, title styles...
Thanks in advance.

Any normal font will do - Calibri, Ariel, Times New Roman. Probably about size 10 font, space things normally. Put the title in bold and a bit bigger. It's not an exact art, just make it look presentable and they will care more about the content.
