corporate presentation font

The design choices we make in our presentations – the colours, the icons, the photography and illustrations – all form a kind of shorthand through which our audiences recognise our brand and get a feel for the message we’re aiming to communicate. The same goes for the fonts we use. Fonts have as big an impact on design style as the visuals. Beautiful photography and well-designed icons can all be undermined by a poorly-chosen typeface. You need to use a font that aligns with the rest of your design style, and with the personality you’re trying to convey. You need a font with the right ‘voice.’

But how do we pick one? Before we get into our recommendations for 10 of the best presentation fonts, let’s run through some of the questions you can ask to help you decide.

Is it a Windows-standard font?

Before we get started this is probably the most important question to ask is if your font should be Windows-standard.

Free download: If you’re not sure what is Windows-standard and what isn’t, then  download this list of Windows-standard fonts for your reference.

We’ll have a look at custom fonts later in this article, but one last question to ask is if the font you intend to use is Windows-standard. Why does this matter? Well, if you make a beautiful presentation using a custom font and then send it to your colleague who doesn’t have the font installed, their version of the presentation will be a huge mess of mis-sized default fonts that isn’t really fit for purpose.

So, if you’re going to be using your presentation on multiple machines, you need something that will work on all of them – you need a Windows-standard font.

And, in case you were wondering, the ten we recommend here are all on that list.

Are you choosing a font for headings or body text?

The first thing to consider is where your text will be used – does it need to be easily readable in longer paragraphs and smaller sizes? Or can you afford to go bigger? Are you looking for a larger, more impactful slide title?

Whether your font is for heading or body text will help inform your answer to the next question…

Serif or sans serif?

Serif fonts have little ticks or ‘wings’ at the end of their lines, and are usually associated with serious, business-like, intellectual content, whereas sans serif fonts – like this one – have no marks on the ends of their lines, and are usually seen as modern, sleek and clean.

General wisdom is that serif fonts are better for print and for body text, as the serifs lead the eye from one character to the next like joined handwriting. Alternatively, sans serif fonts are better for titles and text displayed on a screen. But these are not hard and fast rules! A popular idea is to choose one of each, perhaps titles will be sans serif and body text will be serif, but it’s up to you – choose what feels right for your brand. Do you want to appeal to tradition, to intellectual weight with a serif font, or do you want your text to feel modern, to speak of technology and progress with a sans serif choice? Which leads to the final consideration…

How much familiarity do you want?

Many of the most popular typefaces already have well established voices. Everyone knows Times New Roman is serious, respectable, reliable. Everyone knows Arial is clear, no-nonsense, professional. If you want your audience to feel the familiarity of these tried and tested fonts, easily done! Or do you want to escape the familiar, be a little bit unique and memorable with a font your audience hasn’t already seen that day?

Once you have the answers to these questions, and have decided on the ‘voice’ you want to convey, you are finally ready to start searching for your font! Read on for our recommendations of 10 of the best fonts you can use for your next presentation.

10 best presentation fonts

1. garamond.

presentation fonts

‘Garamond’ actually refers to a style of font, rather than one font in particular. Some examples you may have heard of include Adobe Garamond, Monotype Garamond and Garamond ITC. All of these fonts are slightly different, but all have their origins in the work of Claude Garamond, who designed the original punch cuts in the 1500s, making Garamond fonts some of the oldest around.

Prior to Claude Garamond’s work, fonts were designed to mimic the handwriting of scribes. Garamond’s typefaces however (there are 34 attributed to him), were designed in the Roman style, with the letters’ ascenders vertical and the crossbar of the letter ‘e’ horizontal, instead of slanted as in earlier calligraphic fonts. The letters were designed this way to increase legibility in print, which is what makes Garamond fonts such a great choice for body text. Such a great choice in fact, that the entire Harry Potter series is printed in Adobe Garamond. Outside of print, Garamond fonts have been used in the logos of numerous brands, including Rolex and Abercrombie and Fitch, and giants Google and Apple.

With their rich history and elegant readability, you can be confident that a Garamond font will bring a timeless sophistication to your slides, while keeping your text legible.

2. Palatino

presentation fonts

Palatino was designed by Hermann Zapf in 1949. Based on the type styles of the Italian Renaissance, Palatino draws influence from calligraphy, and is in fact named after master calligrapher Giambattista Palatino – a contemporary of Claude Garamond. Zapf intended Palatino for use in headings, advertisements and printing. More specifically, it was designed to remain legible when printed on low quality paper, printed at small size or viewed at a distance.

Palatino Linotype is the version of the font included with Microsoft products, and has been altered slightly from the original for optimum display on screens. Book Antiqua, also a Microsoft default font, is very similar, almost impossible to tell from Palatino Linotype.

presentation fonts

Both of these fonts are good choices for body text – a little unusual, they will set your slides apart in a sea of Arial and Times New Roman, while with their airy counters and smooth, calligraphic lines, maintaining elegance and readability.

presentation fonts

Verdana was designed by Matthew Carter for Microsoft in 1996, deliberately crafted for use on computer screens. The letters are widely spaced, with wide counters and tall lowercase letters, making this font extremely readable, especially when displayed at small sizes. Verdana is also nearly ubiquitous, it has been included with all versions of Windows and Office since its creation. One survey estimates it is available on 99.7% of Windows computers, and 98.05% of Macs. On the one hand, this makes it a very safe bet – you are almost guaranteed your presentation will appear as you intended on all devices, but on the other hand, you may not stand out from the crowd as much as you may like!

You can’t argue with its legibility though. Verdana is an excellent font to use for small text, for example, to keep your footnotes, references and disclaimers readable. Or, for a safer choice, Verdana’s unobtrusive, effortlessly legible characters will keep your audience’s attention on what you have said, not the font you’ve used to say it.

presentation fonts

If you’ve used a Windows computer, used Skype, played on an Xbox 360 or just seen the Microsoft logo, you have seen a font from the Segoe family. Microsoft uses Segoe fonts for its logos and marketing materials, and Segoe UI has been the default operating system font since Windows Vista. This is all down to its beautiful simplicity, and on-screen legibility. Similarly to Verdana, Segoe fonts look perfect on screens and at small sizes, and are warm and inviting while maintaining the airy, aspirational feel of technology and progress. Unlike Verdana though – which has wide spaces and heavier letters – Segoe fonts are also a great choice for titles and headers.

Another fun bonus from the Segoe font family is the expansive set of symbols and icons it offers. From the insert tab in PowerPoint, click symbol, and change the symbol font to either Segoe UI Symbol, or Segoe UI Emoji, and marvel at the reams and reams of symbols to choose from. There are shapes, arrows, musical notes, mathematical notation, scientific notation, there are animals, buildings, food, Mahjong tiles, Fraktur letters, I Ching hexagrams… Likely any symbol you could possibly want is in there!

So for easy to read body text, light, elegant headers, or a quick and easy way to bring just about any icon you can think of into your presentation, the Segoe font family is a perfect choice.

5. Franklin Gothic

presentation fonts

What is it that makes a font ‘gothic?’ There’s certainly nothing about Franklin Gothic that speaks of bats in belfries or doomed lovers wandering the Yorkshire moors! Well, confusingly, when describing fonts ‘Gothic’ can mean completely opposite things – it is sometimes used to refer to a Medieval-style, blackletter font, or conversely, it can be used as a synonym for the clean, geometric, sans serif fonts that began their rise to prominence in the early 19 th century. And that’s certainly the category Franklin Gothic fits into.

Designed by Morris Fuller for the American Type Founders in 1902 and named after the American printer and Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, Franklin Gothic is a classic American font that has been described as ‘square-jawed and strong-armed, yet soft-spoken.’ With its wide range of weights and widths, and interesting design details (take a look at the uppercase Q and lowercase g for some beautiful, unusual curves, and the uppercase A and M for subtly varying line weights), Franklin Gothic will look strong and approachable as your headings, and classy and legible as your body text.

presentation fonts

Candara was designed by Gary Munch, and released with Windows Vista in 2008. It is part of a family of six Microsoft fonts, all beginning with the letter C (Calibri, Cambria, Consolas, Corbel and Constantia), that were all optimised for use with Microsoft’s ClearType rendering system.

The most interesting thing about Candara, and what makes it such a beautiful font to use, is the influence of architecture on its design. If you look closely at the letters’ ascenders, you will notice an entasis at their ends, which means there is a slight convex curve towards the ends of the lines – a feature best known from classical architecture. Columns built by ancient Greek, Roman, Incan, Aztec and Chinese empires were built with this convex curve, a particularly famous example being the columns of the Parthenon in Athens. Historians believe columns were built in this way to give an impression of greater strength, to correct for the visual illusion that very tall, straight columns appear to bow inwards as they rise.

And the architectural influence doesn’t end there, Candara’s diagonal lines – best seen in the capital X, N and A – have been designed with unusual ogee curves. Most often seen in Gothic arches from 13 th and 14 th century Britain, an ogee curve is part convex, part concave, forming a shallow S shape as it rises. Two ogee curves meeting in the middle form an arch that rises to a point – like Candara’s capital A.

presentation fonts

These entases and ogee curves are what makes this font pleasingly unusual. At first glance, it is a standard, easy-to-read sans serif that looks crisp and clear on screen, but on closer inspection, Candara has some interesting design details that set it apart. Candara is perhaps not the most serious looking font, but if you’d like something slightly unusual, but still professional and perfectly legible, consider Candara.

presentation fonts

Similarly to Garamond, Bodoni refers not to a single font, but to a family of typefaces inspired by the centuries old work of a master typographer. Giambattista Bodoni was an extremely successful master printer who lived and worked in the Italian city of Parma through the late 18 th and early 19 th century. Along with a French typographer named Firmin Didot, Bodoni was responsible for developing the ‘New Face’ style of lettering, characterised by extreme contrast between thick and razor thin lines.

You will have seen this in action if you have ever glanced at a fashion magazine. Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle all print their names in a Bodoni font. In fact, these fonts are so prevalent in fashion graphic design that they have become a shorthand for the elegance and refinement the fashion world idealises.

The sharp lines and smooth curves of these fonts have been compared to the precise geometries of fabric patterns, and their delicate, graceful forms afford them a sophisticated femininity. This delicacy also make these fonts perfect for overlaying photographs. You will notice from the fashion magazine covers how the titles maintain their presence, but don’t overpower the photograph beneath. You can use this to great effect in your own designs; if you need to layer text over photographs, Bodoni fonts could be a stylish and sophisticated answer.

Best used in headings displayed at large sizes where contrasting line weights will have maximum impact, Bodoni fonts will instantly instil your design with an effortless, timeless elegance. Bodoni himself wrote that the beauty of type lies in “conformity without ambiguity, variety without dissonance, and equality and symmetry without confusion.” Bodoni fonts have all those things in abundance, and are some of the most beautiful fonts you can choose to use.

presentation fonts

If Bodoni fonts are just that bit too extreme, try Bell MT instead. They have similar roots – both Bodoni and Bell fonts were influenced by the work of French typographer Fermin Didot, and have the same ‘New Face’ style contrast between thick and thin lines, just to a lesser extent with Bell fonts.

Designed in 1788 by the punch cutter Richard Austin, commissioned by the publisher John Bell, Bell fonts share similarities with Didot style fonts, but also with softer, rounder Roman fonts of the time such as Baskerville. The influence of flowing, cursive style fonts such as Baskerville can be seen in letters such as the uppercase Q and K, and the italic Y and z , which all have some beautiful, unusual curves. In fact, Bell MT is particularly attractive in italic, almost script-like while maintaining legibility. This makes it an excellent choice for sub-headings, as a softer counterpart to a sans serif heading. Or use it for quotes and testimonials, set in a beautiful Bell italic they will be inviting and authentic, as well as clear and readable.

presentation fonts

Coming from an indigenous Salishan language, Tahoma is one of the original Native American names for Mount Rainier in the US state of Washington.

Tahoma the font however was designed by the British typographer Matthew Carter working for Microsoft, and was released with Windows 95. It is a very close cousin of Verdana, but though similar, Tahoma is a little narrower and more tightly spaced than Verdana, giving it a more slender, slightly more formal feel. It is another example of a font that was designed specifically for screen use, meaning it will look good at a wide range of sizes, and on a wide range of screens, perfect if you are making a presentation that will need to display properly on multiple devices.

In fact, perfect clarity is what sets Tahoma apart from some similar sans serif fonts. The image below shows the characters uppercase I (eye), lowercase l (ell) and number 1 (one) written in four popular sans serif fonts (from left to right) Century Gothic, Calibri, Gill Sans and Tahoma. Notice how in every font but Tahoma, at least two characters are indistinguishable. Gill Sans, for example, is a disaster here. It’s unlikely you’ll ever need to write these three characters in quick succession, but for scientific, technical or mathematical content, clear distinction between these characters can be very important – and Tahoma gives you that.

presentation fonts

So with its easy to read, screen friendly design and readily distinguishable characters, Tahoma is an ideal choice for the slightly more formal, but still approachable, scientific or technical presentation.

best presentation fonts

Designed by Jeremy Tankard and released in 2005, like Candara Corbel was also designed to work well with Microsoft’s ClearType rendering system, meaning it is specifically designed to work well on screens. Tankard described his aim when designing Corbel as ‘to give an uncluttered and clean appearance on screen,’ and describes the font as ‘legible, clear, and functional at small sizes.’ All of these things are important boxes to tick when you’re looking for a presentation font!

Corbel is a little more serious than Candara, again in Tankard’s words: ‘functional but not bland,’ designed to be ‘less cuddly, more assertive.’ The dots above the i’s and j’s for example are square, not rounded. The tail of the uppercase Q is straight and horizontal, not a whimsical curve. This makes Corbel a good choice for more serious or technical content, it is legible and without excessive embellishment, yet not characterless or overused.

One of the most interesting design details with Corbel is the fact that with this font, numbers are lowercase. What does this mean? Take a look at the image below, where you can see a comparison of how the numbers 0-9 appear in Corbel with how they appear in another popular sans serif font, Segoe UI. Notice how the Corbel numbers don’t line up exactly? This is know as lowercase or old-style numerals.

best presentation fonts

The purpose of this is to improve how numbers look when they form part of body text – they are a more natural fit with lowercase lettering. Few fonts have this option (for a serif option offering lowercase numbers, consider Georgia, also a Windows standard font), meaning Corbel can make a for a very unique choice. It will be both legible and readable, and its unusual numbers will add a unique and pleasing design touch to your slides.

What about custom fonts?

Sometimes what we want is not the familiar, the comforting, the Arial and the Times New Roman, sometimes we just want something different . This is your opportunity to step into the almost infinite world of custom fonts. Here you can find fonts to fit almost any imaginable need. From timeless and elegant and crisp and futuristic, to ornate scripts and decorative novelties, there will be a custom font for you.

But a word of warning on non-system fonts – custom fonts can be a powerful, attractive component of your presentation design, but if used incorrectly, they can also be its undoing.

A custom font will only appear in your presentation if it is played on a device with that font installed . On any other device, PowerPoint will replace your beautiful, carefully planned custom font with one of the system defaults, and this can have disastrous consequences for your design.

If your presentation is going to be built and presented exclusively from the same device you shouldn’t have a problem, but if multiple devices or operating systems are involved, or if you intend to share your presentation for others to use, to ensure your fonts survive the jump it is safer to stay in the realms of the system default fonts. There you can be confident your carefully crafted designs will stay exactly as you envisaged them, and you can concentrate on delivering the very best presentation.

You can find a useful PDF here detailing which fonts are available on all platforms for maximum compatibility.

Whatever font you do choose for your next PowerPoint presentation, ask yourself two questions:

  • Does this font have the right ‘voice’ for your brand?
  • Is it easy to read?

If the answer to both of the above is yes, then you are on to a winner. You know best what fits with your brand, and if a font captures your unique voice, and makes your slides easy for your audience to read, you are one step closer to that perfect presentation.

14 Fonts That Make Your PowerPoint Presentations Stand Out

Presentation fonts, more generally known as typography , are one of the most neglected areas of presentation design .

That’s because when presentation fonts are used appropriately and correctly, they blend so well with the overall design that your audience doesn’t even notice it. Yet, when your font usage is lacking, this sticks out like a sore thumb. 

Over 30 million PowerPoint presentations are made daily. Therefore, when it comes to creating your own slide decks, you need to take every advantage you can get to make it stand out. Among other design choices, choosing the best fonts for presentations can provide a huge impact with minimal effort.

In fact, it’s one of the reasons why Steve Jobs was able to turn Apple into the brand it is today. His expertise in branding and design was fueled by the Calligraphy classes that he attended in his early years. This allowed him to find the best font family that accentuated his company’s brand and identity.

So no matter the subject of your PowerPoint presentation, the best font or font family will help you create a lasting impression and convey a powerful message. To help you shine through your next slideshow, here’s our cultivated list of the best fonts for presentations.

If you want to create a PowerPoint presentation but don’t have access to PowerPoint itself, you can use Piktochart’s presentation maker to create a presentation or slide deck and export it as a .ppt file.

Best Fonts for Presentations and PowerPoint

Before we proceed, you should know some basics of typography, especially the difference between Serif, Sans Serif, Script, and Decorative types of fonts. 

Serif Fonts

These are classic fonts recognizable by an additional foot (or tail) where each letter ends. Well-known Serif fonts include:

  • Times New Roman
  • Century 

Sans Serif Fonts

Differing from the Serif font style, Sans Serif fonts do not have a tail. The most popular Sans Serif font used in presentations is Arial, but other commonly employed renditions of Sans Serif typeface include:

  • Century Gothic
  • Lucida Sans

Script and Decorative Fonts

These are the fonts that emulate handwriting—not typed with a keyboard or typewriter. Script typefaces and decorative or custom fonts for PowerPoint vary immensely and can be created by a graphic designer to ensure these custom fonts are bespoke to your company/brand.

With these font fundamentals explained, you can also keep up-to-date with the popularity of such fonts using Google’s free font analytics tool here . Let’s now go ahead with our list of the best presentation fonts for your PowerPoint slides. 

  • Libre-Baskerville

Keep in mind that you don’t have to stick with only a single font for your slides. You could choose two of the best fonts for your presentation, one for your headings and another for the copy in the body of the slides.

Without further ado, let’s dive into the 14 best presentation fonts.

1. Helvetica

helvetica font

Helvetica is a basic Sans Serif font with a loyal user base. Originally created in 1957 , Helvetica comes from the Latin word for ‘Switzerland’ where it was born. When you use Helvetica, the top-half part of the text is bigger than in other Sans Serif fonts. For this reason, letters and numbers have a balanced proportionality between the top and bottom segments. As a result, this standard font makes it easier to identify characters from a distance.

As a result of being one of the easiest typecases to read compared to different presentation fonts, Helvetica is great for communicating major points as titles and subheadings in a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.

For these reasons, Helvetica is a popular choice for anyone creating posters .

If you are presenting live to a large group of people, Helvetica is your new go-to font! The classic Sans Serif font is tried and tested and ensures the legibility of your slide deck, even for the audience members sitting at the very back. Though it looks good in any form, you can make Helvetica shine even more in a bold font style or all caps. 

futura font

Futura is one of the popular Sans Serif fonts and is based on geometric shapes. Its features are based on uncomplicated shapes like circles, triangles, and rectangles. In other words , it mimics clean and precise proportions instead of replicating organic script or handwriting. Futura is a great default font for presentations because of its excellent readability, elegance, and lively personality. 

As one of many standard fonts designed to invoke a sense of efficiency and progress, Futura is best employed when you want to project a modern look and feel in your presentation. Futura is a versatile option ideal for use in both titles and body content, accounting for why it has remained immensely popular since 1927. 

3. Rockwell

rockwell font, presentation font

The Rockwell font has strong yet warm characters that make it suitable for a variety of presentation types, regardless of whether it’s used in headings or the body text. However, best practice dictates that this standard font should be used in headers and subheadings based on its geometric style. Rockwell is a Geometric Slab Serif , otherwise known as a slab serif font alternative. It is formed almost completely of straight lines, flawless circles, and sharp angles. This Roman font features a tall x-height and even stroke width that provides its strong presence with a somewhat blocky feel.

Monoline and geometric, Rockwell is a beautiful font that can display any text in a way that looks impactful and important. Whether you want to set a mood or announce a critical update or event, you can’t go wrong with this robust font.

presentation font, verdana font

Verdana is easily a great choice as one of the top PowerPoint presentation fonts. Its tall lowercase letters and wide spaces contribute significantly towards boosting slide readability even when the text case or font size is small. That’s why Verdana is best for references, citations, footnotes, disclaimers, and so on. Additionally, it can also be used as a body font to extrapolate on slide headings to nail down your key points.

Besides that, it is one of the most widely available fonts, compatible with both Mac and Windows systems. This makes this modern Sans Serif font a safe bet for when you are not certain where and how will you be delivering your presentation. 

raleway font, presentation font

Raleway is a modern and lightweight Sans Serif font. Its italicized version has shoulders and bowls in some letters that are a bit off-centered. What this means is that the markings excluding the stem are intentionally lower or higher as compared to other fonts. 

This gives Raleway a slightly artistic look and feels without impacting its readability (and without falling into the custom or decorative fonts category). In fact, many professionals think the swashes and markings actually enhance the font’s readability and legibility. Moreover, Raleway also has a bold version which is heavily used in presentations and slide decks. 

The bottom line is that Raleway is a versatile typeface that can be used in a variety of presentations, either in the body copy or in titles and subheadings. When the titles are capitalized or formatted as bold, captivating your audience becomes a breeze. 

6. Montserrat

montserrat font, presentation font

Montserrat is one of our favorite PowerPoint fonts for presentation titles and subheadings. The modern serif font is bold, professional, and visually appealing for when you want your headers and titles to really capture the audience’s attention.

Every time you move to the next slide, the viewers will see the headings and instantly understand its core message.  

Another major quality of the Montserrat font is its adaptability and versatility. Even a small change, such as switching up the weight, gives you an entirely different-looking typeface. So you get enough flexibility to be able to use the font in all types of PowerPoint presentations.

Montserrat pairs nicely with a wide range of other fonts. For example, using it with a thin Sans Serif in body paragraphs creates a beautiful contrast in your PowerPoint slides. For this reason, it is usually the first modern Serif font choice of those creating a business plan or marketing presentation in MS PowerPoint. 

Create powerful presentations with Piktochart

Piktochart is the easiest way to make powerful presentations. Import your own fonts.

Infographic header template showcase

Roboto is a simple sans-serif font that is a good fit for PowerPoint presentations in a wide range of industries. Well-designed and professional, Roboto works especially well when used for body text, making your paragraphs easy to read.

Roboto combines beautifully with several other fonts. When you’re using Roboto for body text, you can have headings and titles that use a script font such as Pacifico, a serif font such as Garamond, or a Sans Serif font such as Gill Sans. 

bentham presentation font

Bentham is a radiant serif font perfectly suited for headings and subtitles in your PowerPoint slides. It gives your presentation a traditional appearance, and its letter spacing makes your content really easy to read.

You can use this font in uppercase, lowercase, or title case, depending on how it blends with the rest of your slide. For best results, we recommend combining Bentham with a Sans Serif font in your body content. For example, you can use a font such as Open Sans or Futura for the rest of your slide content.

9. Libre-Baskerville

libre baskerville, libre baskerville font

Libre-Baskerville is a free serif Google font. You can pair this classic font with several other fonts to make a PowerPoint presentation with a traditional design. 

One of its best features is that it works equally well in both headings and body copy. It’s clear and easily readable, no matter how you use it. And when used for headings, it works really well in uppercase form. 

tahoma powerpoint font, tahoma font

Tahoma is one of the fonts that offer the best level of clarity for PowerPoint slides. It has easily distinguishable characters like Verdana, but with the exception of tight spacing to give a more formal appearance.

Designed particularly for screens, Tahoma looks readable on a variety of screen sizes and multiple devices. In fact, this significant aspect is what makes Tahoma stand out from other fonts in the Sans Serif family. 

11. Poppins

poppins powerpoint font, poppins font

Poppins falls within the Sans Serif font category but is a different font of its own uniqueness. The solid vertical terminals make it look strong and authoritative. That’s why it’s great for catchy titles and subheadings, as well as for the body paragraphs. Poppins is a geometric typeface issued by Indian Type Foundry in 2014. It was released as open-source and is available in many font sizes for free on Google Fonts.

When you want something that feels casual and professional in equal measure, pick Poppins should be in the running for the best PowerPoint fonts. 

12. Gill Sans

Gill Sans is another classic presentation font for when you’re looking to build rapport with your audience. Gill Sans is a friendly and warm Sans Serif font similar to Helvetica. At the same time, it looks strong and professional. 

It’s designed to be easy to read even when used in small sizes or viewed from afar. For this reason, it’s a superior match for headers, and one of the best PowerPoint fonts, especially when combined with body text using Times New Roman or Georgia (not to mention several other fonts you can pair it with for successful results). This is the right font for combing different fonts within a presentation.

13. Palatino

Palatino can be classified as one of the oldest fonts inspired by calligraphic works of the 1940s. This old-style serif typeface was designed by Hermann Zapf and originally released in 1948 by the Linotype foundry. It features smooth lines and spacious counters, giving it an air of elegance and class. 

Palatino was designed to be used for headlines in print media and advertising that need to be viewable from a distance. This attribute makes Palatino a great font suitable for today’s PowerPoint presentations.   

Palatino is also a viable choice for your presentation’s body text. It’s a little different from fonts typically used for body paragraphs. So it can make your presentation content stand out from those using conventional fonts. 

14. Georgia

Georgia typeface has a modern design that few fonts can match for its graceful look. It’s similar to Times New Roman but with slightly larger characters. Even in small font size, Georgia exudes a sense of friendliness; a sense of intimacy many would claim has been eroded from Times New Roman through its overuse. This versatile font was designed by Matthew Carter , who has successfully composed such a typeface family which incorporates high legibility with personality and charisma. Its strokes form Serif characters with ample spacing, making it easily readable even in small sizes and low-resolution screens. 

Another benefit of using this modern font is its enhanced visibility, even when it’s used in the background of your PowerPoint slides. Moreover, the tall lowercase letters contribute to a classic appearance great for any PowerPoint presentation.  

Final Step: Choosing Your Best Font for Presentations

Choosing the right PowerPoint fonts for your future presentations is more of a creative exercise than a scientific one. Unless you need to abide by strict branding guidelines and company policies, there are no rules for the ‘best font’ set in stone. Plus, presentation fonts depend entirely on the environment or audience it is intended for, the nature and format of the project, and the topic of your PowerPoint presentation. 

However, there are certain basic principles rooted in typography that can help you narrow down the evergrowing list of available PowerPoint presentation fonts and choose PowerPoint fonts that will resonate with and have a powerful impact on your target audience.

As discussed in this article, these include font factors such as compatibility with most systems, clarity from a distance, letter spacing, and so on. Luckily for you, our carefully researched and compiled list of best fonts for presentations above was created with these core fundamentals already in mind, saving you time and hassle.

As long as you adopt these best practices for standard fonts without overcomplicating your key message and takeaways, you’ll soon be on your way to designing a brilliant slide deck using a quality PowerPoint font or font family! From all of us here at Piktochart, good luck with your new and improved presentation slides that will surely shine!

Cover for the best 20 PowerPoint fonts to make your presentation stand out

What makes or kills a first impression during any presentation is your usage of typefaces in the slide design. There are common sins that we should avoid at all costs, but mostly, there are tactics we can learn to feel confident about designing presentation slides for success.

In this article, we shall discuss what makes a quality typeface to use in presentation slides, the difference between fonts and typefaces (two terms mistakenly used interchangeably), and several other notions pertinent to graphic design in an easy-to-approach format for non-designers. At the end, you will have a better idea of which are the best fonts to use for presentations. Let’s get started.

10 Best PowerPoint Fonts combinations for presentations

Considerations before presenting or printing a slide regarding typefaces, recommended font pairing tools & other resources, closing thoughts.

Most people are familiar with the term font , but what if we tell you it is wrongly used and you intend to say another word? Let’s start by defining each term.

A typeface is a compendium of design elements that set the style of any lettering medium. The misconception comes as the typeface is the set of rules that form a family in style, and the font is the implementation of those rules in practical elements. How so? Well, a font is part of a typeface family and can list variations , i.e., light, regular, bold, heavy, etc. 

Putting it into simpler terms, a font is part of a typeface, and typefaces are set to classes depending on their graphical elements. That categorization stands as:

  • Blackletter

Classification of typefaces by style

Up to this point, you may ask yourself: what is the whole point of the serif? Well, there’s a little bit of story behind it. Back in the old days, when writings were made in stone, engravers added extra glyphs at the end of each letter, as a consequence of the chisel mark. In 1465, with the development of the type printing press by Johannes Gutenberg , the Gothic’s overly-ornamented Blackletter style – used mostly for ecclesiastical purposes – was the go-to typeface to use as it mimicked the formal handwriting style. There was a problem, though, and it arose as such typefaces required lengthy space to produce a book, increasing printing costs. This is where the first pure serif types started to emerge, but readability remained a problem; especially when Renaissance’s calligraphy style didn’t offer an alternative.

These concepts were revised by the 18th century when a pursuit for aesthetics gave birth to newer, slim versions of the serif script. By 1757, John Baskerville introduced what we now know as Transitional typefaces, intended as a refinement to increase legibility. The end of the 18th century saw the inception of modern serif typefaces, which came from the hand of designers Firmin Didot and Giambattista Bodoni. Their work altered the appearance of standard serif typefaces to make the metal engraving process a high-quality process. This is what we now know as the Didone typeface family. 

19th century introduced the slab serifs , also known as Egyptian, which changed communication media as large-scale advertisement quickly adopted this style. In case you wonder if you ever saw this style, remember the large bold letters that newspapers used for headings. The evolution of this typeface style came in 1816, with William Caslon’s “ Caslon Egyptian ” style, or the two-lines style. This is the very first sans serif typeface ever recorded, and its continuity in style or alterations saw a massive process during the 20th century.

It is quite the process that led to what we now know as sans serif typefaces, and such a road was paved for the sake of legibility and style. Nowadays, there’s little doubt about these two typeface families as you can easily identify iconic styles such as “Times New Roman” and clearly differentiate them from sans serif families like “Arial.” In the graphic below, you can appreciate the glyphs that distinctively give the serif typefaces their style.

Usage of serif in typefaces explained

Moving on to the parts that pique our interest as presenters, you should consider some implicit rules before starting a PowerPoint design. 

Functionality

Let’s be hyper-clear on this point: not every typeface works for your intended purpose. Legibility should be your primal focus, way more than design, as what’s the point of using a cool-looking typeface if no one can get a clue of what’s written? 

Functionality refers to the usage of a typeface at different sizes across a document. Do you ever wonder why you see the same typeface on eye testing boards? Usually is a slab serif, with its sans serif alternative, and the same font is repeated, downscaling its size to test your visual acuity. If, said typeface, had “catchy” glyphs, you would require twice as much time actually to read the type below the average 24pt in a board.

Explaining functionality in typefaces

Language support

This is a common, and painful, pitfall many non-English speakers do. They fall in love with a typeface after browsing an English-based website, but whenever they apply it to a personal project, they find they cannot use their average characters. Which characters are those?

  • Ø – in Nordic languages.
  • Ö – also known as umlaut in German, is commonly used in Turkish, Nordic, and Baltic languages.
  • Á – the acute accent used in most Latin-based languages such as Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and French.
  • Ô – the circumflex, mostly used by Portuguese-speaking users but also French.
  • Ç – the cedilla, used in Portuguese, French, Catalán, and Turkish (the ? character, for example).
  • Ã – the tilde, common in Portuguese.

And those are just some examples extracted from the Latin alphabet. The problem even worsens if we intend to use Cyrillic, Greek, Hindi, or other Asiatic alphabets (which don’t fall into Chinese, Japanese, or Korean typical logographic style). For this reason, we emphasize testing the characters you will mostly use throughout a standard written text, just not to come across nasty surprises.

Some font families offer support for multi-language applications across the same alphabet. Others, restrict their compatibility in terms of certain characters (i.e., the acute accent in Spanish), but sometimes, that renders as a distorted character that looks awful at any written copy.

A representation of when language support is not properly handed by a typeface

Multiple weights

We want to expose this point by first explaining what weight means for a font family. As previously mentioned, fonts are part of a typeface; they are their implementation in terms of style. Well, fonts include variations within the same specific family style that makes the text look thinner or bolder. That’s known as font weight and can be classified in two ways.

Name classification:

  • Thin Italic
  • Medium Italic
  • Semibold (also known as Demi Bold)
  • Semibold Italic
  • Bold Italic
  • Heavy (also known as Black)
  • Heavy Italic

Web designers and graphic designers often use a number-based scale, which is inherited from CSS.

  • 100 – Thin
  • 200 – Extra Light
  • 300 – Light
  • 400 – Normal or Regular
  • 500 – Medium
  • 600 – Semibold
  • 700 – Bold
  • 800 – Extra Bold
  • 900 – Black

Now you know the reason why some places like Google Fonts often show numbers next to the name definition of it.

Font weights in Google Fonts

Not every typeface can be used for any project. Some typefaces can be acquired for a fee through sites like MyFonts.com , but their usage does not allow commercial use. What exactly does this mean?

Let’s say you created a product, and you love the Coca-Cola lettering style. Well, you want to use the Coca-Cola typeface, which is trademarked, as the typeface for your logo. Everything sounds fantastic until your designer warns you that it’s impossible.

Brands that create typefaces for their logos, which is a common practice to deliver the originality factor into the brand, restrict the usage of their intellectual property for commercial use as they don’t want to be associated with the wrong kind of message. Okay then, what happens when a kid uses those typefaces on a school project? This writer sincerely doubts a company shall put their legal team to prosecute a student; most likely, they feel it is part of their brand awareness and cultural influence. That same argument won’t be used if a particular is intending to use the typeface to make a profit with a non-branded product, and you will be legally requested to ditch the design altogether. 

Therefore, before opting for a typeface, don’t fall prey to using a fancy, trademarked, typeface. 

The unknown-typeface strikes again

This is another common pitfall if you attend multiple presentations or if you work in the printing business. How often does a user feel annoyed that the presentation “looked different” at home? Fonts are the culprit for this.

Whenever you work on a presentation using local-based software, like PowerPoint, the typefaces you pick are the ones installed on your computer. Therefore, if you change devices, the typefaces won’t be available. We will retake this topic later, but consider always working with well-known typefaces available on any computer rather than innovation.

Sins of type

Finally, we want to conclude this section with the vices you should avoid at all costs whenever working with type in presentations. 

  • Using multiple typefaces on the same document: As a rule, don’t use more than 3 typefaces across your presentation slides design. Increasing the number of typefaces won’t make it more appealing; quite the opposite, and you should be mindful that if your images contain text, they have to match the existing typefaces in the presentation. 
  • DO NOT use Comic Sans: By all means, do yourself a favor. There are multiple reasons why designers feel like having a stroke whenever Comic Sans enters the scene, but if you want a straightforward reason why, it makes your work look childish, unprofessional, and unfit for its purpose.
  • Script fonts for the body of text : Legible typefaces are required in long text areas to make the reader feel comfortable. Script fonts are not intended for readability but for design purposes. If your text is long, work with serif or sans serif typefaces (slab serif won’t do good as well).
  • Excess tracking : Tracking refers in typography to the space between words, and the perfect way to point this out is by referring to the Justify paragraph alienation, which often leaves heavy white areas between words. Excess tracking makes the text look boring and hard to read.

Installing a font in PowerPoint doesn’t mean installing it as a third-party plugin; you must install the font family into the operating system (OS). 

Installing a font in Windows

Method 1 – Via Contextual Menu

  • Download your desired font family. Extract the zip file you obtain.
  • Right-click the font files you obtain from the zip (they can be in OpenType or TrueType format). Click on Install on the contextual menu. 
  • You will be prompted to give admin rights to make changes to your computer. If you trust the source, then click yes. 

Method 2 – Via C: Drive

  • Open a new File Explorer window. Search this path: C:\Windows\Fonts. That’s where fonts are stored in any Windows OS. 
  • Copy the files from your extracted zip file or folder containing fonts.
  • Paste the fonts by right-clicking inside the Fonts folder, then click Paste .

Relaunch the opened applications to see the effects of installing a font.

Installing a font on Mac

Mac OS requires a different procedure for installing fonts. First, access the Font Book app. 

After launching Font Book, go to File > Add Fonts to Current User . Double-click the font file. 

The Font Book app validates the integrity of the font file and if there are duplicate fonts. For more detailed instructions and troubleshooting on Mac font install procedures, check this guide by Apple .

20 Best Fonts for PowerPoint

Now it’s time to explore what you’ve been looking for: the best fonts for PowerPoint! This is a list of typefaces intended for multiple uses in slides, and it will certainly boost your PowerPoint design ideas for the greater.

#1 – Tahoma Font

This typeface is typically used in PowerPoint slides, emails, Word documents, and more. It resembles Verdana but with a smaller kerning (distance between characters). Due to that, it feels slimmer, professional and works perfectly on multiple devices. This is one of the best fonts for presentation that you can consider to use.

Tahoma typeface

Recommended font pairing: Georgia, Brandon Grotesque, Helvetica Neue, Palatino, Arial.

#2 – Verdana Font

Verdana is a sans serif classic commonly used for citations, disclaimers, and academic documents. It is available on both Windows and Mac as a pre-installed font, which would solve your problems if you have to deliver presentations on multiple devices (which may not be yours).

Verdana typeface for presentations

Recommended font pairing: Arial, Lucida Grande, Futura, Georgia.

#3 – Roboto

Another delicate sans serif font that is ideal for text bodies. It is rated among the best fonts for PowerPoint readability and presentations, so you can easily pair it with more prominent font families. You may recognize this typeface as it is the default Google Maps uses.

Roboto typeface

Recommended font pairing: Oswald, Gill Sans, Garamond, Open Sans, Teko, Crimson Text.

#4 – Rockwell

Including visually attractive elements is crucial when looking for the best fonts for presentations, so why not combine a professional style with a slab serif typeface like Rockwell?

It is ideal for headings, especially if used in its bold font weight and paired with a sans serif for the body.

Rockwell typeface

Recommended font pairing: Helvetica Neue, Gill Sans, Futura, DIN Mittelschrift.

#5 – Open Sans

This is easily one of the most versatile sans-serif fonts you can find! It is commonly used in presentation slides as both heading and body, varying font-weight, but you can also create powerful combinations with different typefaces.

Open Sans typeface

Recommended font pairing: Roboto, Brandon Grotesque, Montserrat, Oswald, Lora, Raleway.

#6 – Lato

A typeface intended for digital mediums, one of its biggest advantages is its wide range of font weights – much like Open Sans. It is ideal for headings in minimalistic-themed presentations, but it can work perfectly as body text if paired with a serif font or a script one.

Lato typeface

Recommended font pairing: Montserrat, Oswald, Roboto, Merriweather.

#7 – Futura

This sans serif typeface was designed by Paul Renner in 1927 and remains a preferred choice of designers thanks to its clean aspect with pure geometric shapes. It has inspiration from the Bauhaus in terms of styling, so any presenter that loves modern style will find in this typeface a loyal companion.

corporate presentation font

Recommended font pairing: Playfair Display, Lato, Book Antiqua, Helvetica, Open Sans.

#8 – Book Antiqua

A typeface widely used in the first years of the 2000s, its graphical elements are inspired by Renaissance’s handwritten style. Created in 1991 by The Monotype Corporation, it is known as a classic in design projects and won’t run out of fashion any time soon. Its italic variation is considered one of the most beautiful italic serif fonts.

Book Antiqua typeface

Recommended font pairing: Myriad Pro, Baskerville, Georgia, Futura, Vladimir Script.

#9 – Bebas Neue

This typeface is strictly intended for headings or for body copy that doesn’t mind the usage of caps. The reason is that this typeface is entirely made of caps. It has no lowercase characters, but its slender shape and tight kerning have made it a popular choice among well-known designers like Chris Do. One creative usage of this typeface is to use it in outline format.

Bebas Neue typeface

Recommended font pairing: Avenir, Montserrat, DIN Mittelschrift, Roboto.

#10 – Lora

This serif typeface can be used both in PowerPoint and Google Slides, as it is a free typeface offered by Google. Works perfectly for formal-styled headings, but it can adapt for text body as long as it remains a minimum of 15pt in size. It is an ideal option to pair with free PowerPoint presentation templates.

Lora typeface

Recommended font pairing: Montserrat, Open Sans, Poppins, Avenir.

#11 – Montserrat

You most likely came across Montserrat at some point in your life, since it is an extremely popular choice among designers for presentations and packaging. Due to this, you won’t spark innovation but rather remain on the safe side for font pairings – which is ideal for corporate styling.

Montserrat typeface

Recommended font pairing: Lora, Open Sans, Merriweather, Oswald, Georgia, Roboto.

#12 – Bentham

Another elegant serif font used for formal occasions, like wedding invitations, headings, or product descriptions. Its kerning makes it readable, unlike many other serif fonts, which is one of the reasons why you can work with this font for the body if you opt for a sans serif in the headings. 

Bentham typeface

Recommended font pairing: Futura, Open Sans, Lato, Raleway.

#13 – Dosis

It is a simple, monoline sans serif typeface, which works perfectly in its extra light and light font weights to make a drastic contrast with a bold sans serif typeface. Ideally, work with this typeface for subheadings.

Dosis typeface

Recommended font pairing: Lato, Montserrat, Roboto, Oswald, Raleway.

#14 – Baskerville

You can come across this serif typeface in the form of Libre-Baskerville, a free serif typeface offered by Google. It is ideal for headings, thanks to its traditional style closely resembling the original Baskerville typeface, so it is ideal to stick to it in uppercase mode.

Baskerville typeface

Recommended font pairing: Montserrat, Poppins, Lucida Grande, Helvetica Neue, Open Sans.

#15 – Poppins

This sans serif typeface breaks with the formal style of families like Verdana and Open Sans, introducing some graphical cues that make it adept for more relaxed situations. Therefore, it is ideal to use in team meetings, product presentations, or non-business presentations as long as it remains for title headers.

Poppins typeface

Recommended font pairing: Raleway, Garamond, Merriweather, Droid Serif. 

#16 – Zenith Script

EnvatoElements is a great marketplace for typefaces; among the options, we can find this brush-style script typeface. Zenith Script is a powerful option to come up with creative title designs for non-corporate meetings, as long as the title remains short. It can also work for branding purposes, and certainly, you can use it as an asset if you are looking for how to start a presentation .

Zenith Script typeface

Recommended font pairing: Any sans serif font in uppercase format, with increased kerning. Options can be Open Sans, Bebas Neue (modified), Roboto, and Futura.

#17 – Amnesty

The second option we consider among script typefaces. Amnesty has that dramatic effect that resembles rusting handwriting from the old days. It is ideal for presentations that have to convey a strong emotional factor, like product releases for fashion brands, and we recommend limiting its usage to short titles, always paired with sans serif typefaces.

Amnesty typeface

Recommended font pairing: As it is a custom-made font, we recommend pairing it with its Amnesty Sans listed in the product file.

#18 – Bodoni

This typeface dates all the way back to 1798 and is considered a transitional font type. Its name comes from Giambattista Bodoni, designer, and author of this typeface, whose work was heavily influenced by John Baskerville. As a didone typeface, you find elegant traces that instantly give the feel of a fashion magazine heading, and it is no coincidence that this was the selected typeface for the title of Dante Alighieri’s La Vita Nuova re-print in 1925 .

Bodoni typeface

Recommended font pairing: Brandon Grotesque, Gill Sans, Playfair Display, Raleway, Courier.

#19 – Avant Garde

If you are looking for good presentation fonts, this geometric sans serif is the answer to your question. This typeface is based on the Avant Garde magazine logo and remains one of the most popular condensed sans serif options. Many brands use Avant Gard these days as part of their branding identity, such as Macy’s (lowercase usage), the Scottish rock band Travis, RE/MAX, among others.

Avant Garde typeface

Recommended font pairing: Helvetica Neue, Sentinel, Garamond, Neuzeit Grotesk.

#20 – DIN Mittelschrift

Our final typeface in this list is the DIN 1451 sans serif typeface, widely used in traffic signage and administrative/technical applications. Its denomination, Mittelschrift, comes from the German word for medium, which refers to the font weight. You can find it in Engschrift , which stands for condensed. 

DIN Mittelschrift & Engschrift typefaces

Recommended font pairing: Open Sans, Didot, Helvetica Neue, Lucida Grande.

Keep in mind that if you are looking for a proper way how to end a presentation , working with graphics is much better than sticking with type, as you show extra care for the final element in your slide deck.

Before concluding the technical aspects of this article on best presentation fonts, we want to mention some key elements that you should consider before delivering a presentation or printing it for physical format.

Working with accurate text si zing in presentations can make a difference in how the slides are perceived by the audience. First, let’s make one very valid clarification: a Point (pt, unit used in PowerPoint and other word processing software) equals 1.333 pixels, or we can say a pixel is 0.75 pt.

You can find multiple resources and rules on font sizing intended for web designers, so let’s resume the primary points here:

  • Body text should remain 12 to 14pt for legibility. If the presentation is shown from afar, increase body size to 16pt.
  • The ratio for headings and titles is twice as big as the body text.
  • Subheadings should be between 3-4 pt smaller than headings to make a valid contrast but not compete with the body text.
  • Keep an eye on leading , the space between lines of text. Double spacing makes it hard to read in most situations, so avoid it for the text body. 

Getting slides ready for print format

Remember what we mentioned above about not having your fonts installed on the computer? Well, this inconvenience can be easily solved by rastering type before leaving your home or exporting your presentation file. PowerPoint doesn’t offer a native option to do this, so if your presentation has sections that are bound to suffer from font issues, work with them as images, which can be exported from Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator. It is just like working with PowerPoint shapes , but you remain on the safe side of font compatibility issues. 

Word of advice : keep an editable copy instead of just the rastered version.

Color contrast and color testing

Accessibility is the number #1 rule to remember when working with text, as it enhances the performance of your visual communication tactics. In general, don’t work with pure white or pure black colors, since it induces eye strain whenever a spectator has to read your slides for a long while. You can work with color contrast resources such as WebAIM’s Contrast Checker .

If your presentation slides are going to be handed out in deliverable format, be sure to perform a color test before you bulk print the slides. Some colors can be misleading, especially in the conversion from RGB to CMYK color spaces. Also, some light grays may not be accurately printed if done with an inkjet printer. Take some extra time to ensure this process is done right, and avoid last-minute costly frustrations. 

If you need to purchase typefaces, opt for trustworthy marketplaces. Sites like MyFont.com offer an immense collection of font families available for you, plus extra services like WhatTheFont , their AI-based typeface recognition software, which allows you to scan and detect typefaces from documents, images, and more. It is extremely useful if you are looking for a typeface but cannot remember its name.

Alternatives: Fonts.com | HypeForType | Adobe Fonts | Google Fonts

Fontjoy.com

For those who seek to explore creative font pairing schemes, Fontjoy is the site to visit. It is a simple layout, in which you select the font for the Title, Subheading, and Body. You can randomly generate combinations based on the contrast between typeface styles, or start with a typeface you had in mind for one section – lock it – and click on the generate button. 

Keep in mind it has a limited number of typefaces, some of which we mentioned here may not be available.

Alternatives: fontpairings.com

When looking for inspiration to create visually attractive font pairings, Typ.io is a website intended for web font inspiration, meaning to guide designers with different font schemes by looking at the font’s name. 

You can look at some projects in detail, with their CSS code written for you, so you can analyze the font weight used or particular style details.

Typewar.com

Want to have fun while learning about font pairing? Well, an important part of that process is to learn by heart the most used typefaces. Typewar is a website that offers a quiz showing different characters in multiple typefaces, with the input to choose between two font families. It is ideal to practice classic typefaces, and you will increase your knowledge in design by a great deal if you practice 10 minutes a day.

Typescale.com

One crucial aspect of working with text is knowing how to scale it properly. Since readability is critical, you should know when and where to use each font size. Typescale is a website that is intended for web designers and can help convert typefaces from pixels to rem . How is this useful for presenters? Well, since we won’t dwell in pixels and other units besides points (pt), this tool is ideal to tell if a text is legible from distance at the current size you assigned, or whether you should upscale or downscale the body text to make a better contrast with the headings. 

Finally, we conclude this section by introducing Coolors , a palette generator tool that helps designers come up with beautiful color schemes for their work. As we discussed in our color theory for presentations article, it is important to keep an eye on the colors we manage as they contribute to the psychological impact the presentation has on the audience.

Get used to generating creative PowerPoint color palettes for each presentation to make them unique, or help your brand to tailor cooperative slides to the appropriate PowerPoint theme that matches the company’s logo. 

As you can see, getting ready to make a presentation isn’t just an easy feat that can be accomplished in minutes if you aim for custom-made solutions rather than sticking to PowerPoint templates . Increasing your knowledge of font pairing and its proper usage will certainly boost your performance as a presenter, making you less prone to a design faux-pas that diverts the attention from your content.

We recommend you to visit our tutorials on how to add fonts to PowerPoint and how to add fonts to Google Slides . We hope this guide brings light to a complex topic like working with design decisions in presentations and see you next time.

12 Best Fonts for PowerPoint Presentations (2024)

What are the best fonts for PowerPoint presentations? That’s a question we want to answer in this post.

We list a dozen fonts suitable for presentations. We included different font styles to account for the different presentation styles you can create with Microsoft PowerPoint.

Some fonts are included in the application itself. Others are from marketplaces like Creative Market and Envato Elements.

Envato Elements is a subscription service that gives you access to an unlimited number of downloads of over 80,000 design elements for $16.50/month.

You can get started with a 7-day free trial. We wrote a review on Envato Elements if you’d like to learn more about it.

Let’s get into our list for now.

The Best Fonts for PowerPoint Presentations

01. visby cf.

Visby CF - Fonts for PowerPoint Presenations

Visby CF is a versatile sans-serif font fit for any PowerPoint presentation.

It’s easy on the eyes when used in lowercase format or lighter font styles.

When you use all uppercase or bold letters, your text becomes more audacious, lending itself to a more noticeable appeal.

This versatility makes this a suitable primary font for any presentation. Use it for headings and paragraph text alike.

The font comes packaged in an OTF file.

Tahoma - Fonts for PowerPoint Presenations

Tahoma is a sans-serif font. It was designed by Matthew Carter for Microsoft in 1994, after which it was included in the original edition of Windows 95.

It’s been a staple of Microsoft applications like PowerPoint ever since.

The font contains two Windows TrueType fonts in regular and bold weights.

It’s a versatile font perfect for headings and paragraph text as well as personal and professional projects.

03. Caridora

Caridora - Fonts for PowerPoint Presentations

Caridora is a rounded, semi-condensed sans-serif font.

It’s an okay font for text, but it’d truly shine as a heading font, especially for casual or non-corporate presentations.

It comes with two styles in TTF and OTF file formats, meaning four files in total.

04. Palatino Linotype

Palatino Linotype - Fonts for PowerPoint Presentations

Palatino Linotype is a modern take on a font by the same name, Palatino. Both the original and digital typefaces were designed by Hermann Zapf.

Hermann designed the original in 1950, after which it became one of the most popular fonts used around the world.

It’s a serif font and a safe option for headings and secondary text in professional presentations.

05. Bergen Sans

Bergen Sans

Bergen Sans is a big and bold sans-serif font. It’s one of the best fonts for PowerPoint presentations, especially for larger headings meant to grab your viewer’s attention.

This particular font comes packaged as a font family that consists of 6 individual fonts.

Because of this, you can easily use one font for headings and a lighter font from this family for text.

The fonts come in OTF format

Frunch

Frunch is a bold script font with a vintage flair.

It’d make a great heading font, especially for those in-between slides that only have a simple heading and an accompanying graphic.

The font comes in OTF and TTF file formats and includes 389 glyphs.

07. Addington CF

Addington CF

Addington CF is one of the most elegant serif fonts for PowerPoint presentations.

It’s not too unlike Palatino Linotype, though this font does feature a more vibrant style.

It comes in OTF format and includes 6 font weights plus roman and italic font sets.

Price: Free with Envato Elements.

08. Fonseca

Fonseca

Fonseca is an art deco sans-serif font with a modern twist.

This makes it a suitable choice for headings and subheadings, especially for artistic presentations.

The font is packaged in OTF format with several font styles included. It has 345 glyphs.

09. RNS Camelia

RNS Camelia

RNS Camelia is a slab serif font. That makes it an incredibly suitable choice for headings right off the bat.

However, it’s also a great text font when used in a lighter font weight.

The font comes in OTF format with 14 styles included.

10. Verdana

Verdana

Verdana is a classic Microsoft Windows font designed by Mattew Carter. This one, in particular, was one of the first fonts designed with on-screen displays in mind.

It’s a sans-serif font, but a rather plain one.

This makes it most suitable as a text font for professional, and especially corporate, presentations.

Price: Included with PowerPoint.

11. RNS Sanz

RNS Sanz

RNS Sanz is one of the best sans-serif fonts for PowerPoint presentations.

It’s multipurpose as you can use it as both a heading and text font for PowerPoint presentations.

The font comes in multiple styles and is packaged in OTF and TTF file formats.

Corbel

Corbel is a rounded sans-serif font that first appeared in Microsoft applications with the release of Windows Vista.

It’s a simple font, but it’s versatile enough to be used as a heading font in professional presentations and a text font in all others.

How to Use Custom Fonts for PowerPoint Presentations

Microsoft PowerPoint Online does not allow you to use custom fonts. If you only have access to this version of PowerPoint, you’ll need to stick to the default fonts it comes with.

Based on our list, this means sticking to fonts that say “included with PowerPoint” in the Price section of each list item.

For the desktop version of PowerPoint , follow these steps to upload a custom font into the application:

  • Download a copy of the font you want to add to PowerPoint.
  • Custom fonts need to be in TTF (TrueType Font) or OTF (OpenType Font) file formats in order to use them in PowerPoint. If your font came in a ZIP folder, unzip the folder to extract the correct file format.
  • Double click this file. This opens a window that contains a preview of the font you downloaded.
  • Click the Install button in the window. It’s located toward the top.
  • If your font came with additional styles (bold, italic, extra bold, etc.), you may see additional TTF and OTF files, one for each additional style. Go through the same process of double clicking and installing each one if you want to use them in PowerPoint.
  • Restart your computer (or PowerPoint, at the very least).

That’s it! The font should now be available for use in PowerPoint.

The process is similar on a Mac.

After Step 2, open Font Book on your Mac. Then, drag and drop any files you want to use in PowerPoint from its original folder over to Font Book.

Embedding Fonts in PowerPoint Presentations

If you want to ensure your PowerPoint presentation features all of the custom fonts you used (instead of the app’s default ones), you need to embed them into your final presentation file.

Otherwise, custom fonts will only appear when you show the presentation on a computer that has the font installed.

Here are the steps for embedding fonts on a PC:

  • Click File, then Options.
  • Open the Save tab.
  • Look for the “Preserve fidelity when sharing this document” setting. It’s located at the bottom.
  • Make sure the “Embed fonts in the file” option is selected, then click OK.
  • Save/export your presentation as usual.

Follow these steps to embed fonts on a Mac:

  • Select Preferences.
  • Look for the Output and Sharing section, then click Save.
  • Look for the “Font Embedding” setting.
  • Make sure the “Embed fonts in the file” option is selected.

How to Choose the Best Fonts for PowerPoint Presentations

PowerPoint presentations are akin to signs, posters and even billboards you see as you drive along the highway.

They’re filled with information but are often paired with visuals designed to grab your attention and complement the words they’re attributed to.

However, a good sign or billboard can grab your attention with either. Each slide in your presentation should do the same.

Yes, the visuals in your presentation do a lot, but don’t discredit the power typography can play when it comes to conveying a message or providing facts.

So, instead of choosing any old font to add to your PowerPoint, choose the best fonts for your presentation instead.

It’s best to choose no more than two fonts that complement each other: one for headings and a second for text.

Your heading font should captivate your viewers at a moment’s glance. It should also look good in larger font sizes.

Visby CF, Tahoma, Caridora, Frunch, Addington, and RNS Camelia are all great options for headings.

They each have different styles, though, so make sure you choose one that complements your presentation’s content as well.

For example, Addington is a bit of a fancier, more elegant font. It likely wouldn’t be suitable for a presentation on skateboarding.

It’s best to choose a simpler font for text.

This is because text in PowerPoint presentations is used to convey more information (and words) than headings.

Stick with sans-serif fonts for text since they’re easier to read.

Tahoma, Palatino Lintoype, Bergen Sans, Fonseca, and RNS Sanz are good choices.

Be sure to grab an Envato Elements subscription if you want more choices. They also have thousands of PowerPoint templates, all of which are free with your subscription.

You can get started with a 7-day free trial.

The 10 best presentation fonts to transform your next PowerPoint.

Welcome to our new presentation font dating show: What’s your type? Starting with ten eligible font choices, you’ll get to know your future font intimately. Based on purpose and personality, you’ll whittle the list down before making your final decision and running off into the sunset with the font of your dreams. 

With over 600,000 fonts on  What Font Is  alone, the term choice paralysis doesn’t quite cover the sweat-inducing panic that accompanies picking just one font for your PowerPoint presentation. How do you even begin to narrow them down and find the best font for your needs? Do you choose based on the name you like most? Perhaps you simply keep returning to your ex font, even though you two clearly have communication issues? Or maybe you just close your eyes and see which your mouse lands on?

Why isn’t there a tinder for fonts?

You obviously can’t be trusted to make this decision on your own. Which is why we’ve done the legwork for you, rounding up ten beautiful, brilliant, and personality-packed font choices for you to choose from.

Enough of the build up.

10 best fonts for presentations

Shall we meet them.

Tahoma font for presentation

Designed by Matthew Carter, Tahoma is one of Microsoft’s most popular sans serif typefaces.

Verdana font for PowerPoint

Another of Matthew Carter’s designs, Verdana is a prime example of a font created specifically for the screen.

Impact font for PowerPoint

Impact gets about a bit. Named as one of the  core fonts for the web , this font has been seen by just about everyone.

Georgia font for PowerPoint

Georgia is a nineties gal. Designed for screen, Georgia’s weight fluctuates by a whole pixel, which is greater than traditional print typography.

5. Palatino

Palatino font

Palatino was originally designed for headings and is legible even on the inferior paper of the post-World War II period.

6. Proxima Nova

Proxima Nova font

Proxima Nova is the go-to font for just about anything. Oh, it’s flexible alright.

7. ITC Souvenir

ITC Souvenir font

This personable little number gets along with loads of other fonts, just ask Futura and Roboto.

8. Montserrat

Montserrat presentation font

A Buenos Aires export, old posters and signs in the artist’s hometown inspired the creation of this 30-year old stunner.

Raleway font

Initially created by Matt McInerney as a single-weight font, but my, my, has Raleway come a long way since then.

Lato font

Lato was originally betrothed to a large corporate client, but they decided to go in another direction, so now it’s back on the public market, and looking for Mr Right.

The best font for your PowerPoint presentation is somewhere in this selection, just waiting for you to choose it. How does that feel? 

Well, I’m excited. Let’s get cut-throat and start removing the fonts that just aren’t right for you.

Round one: Finding a presentation font with purpose

Fonts are much more than a pretty (type)face to look good sitting on your PowerPoint slide. They have strengths and weaknesses, just like any of us. In order to choose your perfect font, you first need to decide which one fits your purpose. All relationships are chosen based on practicalities, right?

Do you want a simple life, or something a little extra?

Understanding your ultimate goal isn’t just important when it comes to  writing your story . The final deliverable, audience, and even the room layout all need to be taken into account when choosing your font. After all, if they can’t read your message, what’s the likelihood they’re going to remember it?

Serif vs Sans serif

There are two main font categories for you to decide between: serifs and sans serifs. There are others, such as script and stencil, but we’re trying to keep this simple. Both serifs and sans serifs have their own benefits and specified use cases, making it easy to find the right font category for your need. Let’s start with serifs.

Could a sophisticated serif be the best font for your presentation?

Serifs are the little extra flourishes that sit at the ends of the larger strokes. They likely came about because the Romans would first paint the outlines onto stone before carving, and the paint brushes would create flares at the ends. Serif fonts more closely represent handwriting and, therefore, are universally acknowledged to be easier to read in print. The serifs create joins between letters, similar to how we’re taught to write in school.

Traditionalists will tell you that serif fonts should only be used for print, but we say that’s nonsense. In fact, serifs have made a  huge comeback , have taken over the web, and are in some damn trendy presentations.

We don’t recommend using serif fonts for body copy, as they aren’t always the clearest, but for titles, or as a supporting font, they can work nicely to liven up your slides, while delivering that touch of class some of you might be looking for. 

If you strip your slides right back to just powerful key statements, you want to draw the eye to the title, or your PowerPoint is destined to be printed, congratulations, you’ve just narrowed down your choices.

Our sassy serifs are:

ITC Souvenir

Certain about serifs? Feel free to  jump to the next section .

Or is a simple sans serif the best font for your presentation?

If you want to keep your options open, let’s bring in our sans serif sensations.

Are you looking for something versatile, sleek, and modern for your presentation font? Look no further than our sans serifs. As digital has taken over from print, so too have sans serifs. These font families are considered better for online and screen formats. This is because their simplified forms translate well across different screen resolutions. 

But don’t be too quick to jump to a sans, just because your presentation is destined for the screen only. Sure, if you’re going to pack the slides with copy, a sans serif may be your only choice. However, if you want our honest opinion, your best move here is to shift most of that text into your speaker notes. But that’s a lesson for another time. 

If you can’t be sure about the technical specifications of the kit you’ll be presenting on, you don’t know how big the room will be, or you might want to reuse your deck for a variety of purposes, you won’t go too far wrong with a sans serif font for your presentation.

If you want to play it safe with a sans, your remaining font choices are:

Proxima Nova

You may think you have your heart set on a typographical temptress now, but we’re only halfway through the round. There’s much more to presentation purpose than how much copy is on the slide.

Know your presentation font limits

Have you ever spent days crafting a beautiful presentation, just to stand up on the day in front of a nauseating hurricane of copy calamity?

Nobody wants their font to make a scene in front of a crowd so, if your presentation is ever going to be viewed, presented or edited on a machine that isn’t yours, you need to take the innate availability of your font into account. 

Why use system fonts in your presentation?

If you just want an easy life, to be able to take your chosen font anywhere and have them behave appropriately, you’re going to want to stick with a system font. Choosing a system font means it doesn’t matter what machine you, or anyone else, opens your presentation on, it will always look exactly how you meant it to. There’s certainly a place for custom fonts in presentations, but you have to know exactly where that presentation is going, and have the foresight to install the font on every machine that could open it. 

If you want to stay safe with a system, but keep it sassy with a serif, you’ve just narrowed your choices to:

If you’re the type of person that doesn’t like to take any risks, you’re going to want to go for a sans serif system font:

Look at that. We’re getting closer to your perfect match.

Settled on system? Now would be a great time to  jump to round two . Don’t even let your heart be tempted away by those exotic custom fonts.

Custom fonts to make your presentation stand out

We all want to stand out from the crowd, especially if you happen to be just one presentation in a long line your audience is seeing that day. One way to stick out from the onslaught of Arial is to use a custom font. When we say custom, we don’t necessarily mean you have to pay a typographer to create one just for you. But you could.

No, if you use a custom font, you just open your presentation possibilities up to the whole world of fonts, beyond what can be found on all machines, as standard. 

If you have complete control over everywhere your presentation lands, and can install your font in all these locations, you have the freedom to get a little more creative with your copy.

Want to go custom, but stay classy? Your serif font is:

Boom! Decision made. However, you may still want to  jump to part two to take the personality test, before you put a ring on it.

Prioritising versatility, but happy to be vigilant? Your sans choices are:

By now, I know you have a favourite. Before we finally get to hear from our fonts, let’s make sure you have all the information you need to get your chosen one to the finish line.

How to install custom fonts in PowerPoint

Start by downloading the font. The font you choose will determine which online location you need to visit to source it. Some reliable sites are  Google Fonts ,  Font Squirrel ,  Da Font , and  Font Fabric . 

Installing your fonts on Windows

Find the font file that you downloaded. It’s probably in a zip file and located in your downloads folder.

Double-click  the font file and it will open in the Font Previewer.

Font Previewer

Click Install  at the top left.

Installing your font on Mac

Find the font file you downloaded. It likely has a .ttf or .otf extension and it’s probably in your downloads folder.  Double-click  on it.

NOTE: If the font file has a .zip extension you need to open that .zip file and open the font file from there.

It will open in the Font Previewer.  Click Install Font  to open in Font Book.

In Font Book, drag and drop the font to Windows Office Compatible to make it available to Microsoft Office.

After you’ve installed the font, whether on Mac or PC, you need to restart PowerPoint for it to appear in your font list, ready to use.

Round two: How to avoid a personality clash

You’ve used your noggin and picked some practical choices. Now it’s time to bring in the heart. 

The font you use for your PowerPoint presentation says so much more than the copy it’s used for. Fonts convey emotion, they have personalities and, when used right, they help to visually tell your brand story. After all, you wouldn’t write a formal tender document in Comic Sans, would you?

Comic sans saying 'take me seriously'

No, you’d choose something that communicates respect and integrity, such as Bodoni or Optima.

telling Comic Sans to shush

But these guys are just gatecrashers. Back to the main event.

Let’s hand over to  our  fonts, so you can get to know them a little better.

First up, our reliable system fonts.

Tahoma is reserved

“I’m pretty neutral. The Switzerland of fonts. My personality may not be wacky enough for some, but I’m always up to have some good, clean fun.

I go with anything, complementing whatever design style you’ve chosen, rather than trying to stamp my personality all over it.

Some call me boring, I like to think I’m agreeable. After all, is your presentation really about me?”

verdana is simple

“I’m a modern font with an air of innocence. Clean cut, yet retaining just enough personality to liven up your presentation, I will add a dash of character without stealing the show.

I’ve been described as “cheap”, but I prefer to think of myself as simple. I stand back to let your message shine through.”

powerful impact

“Want to make a statement? I’m the font for you. 

My popularity hasn’t made me any less  impactful .

I may be heavy and condensed in style, but I look great in all caps and am effortless to read.  

Big, bold, and powerful; when you’re with me, no one in the room will be able to take their eyes off you.”

Tradtional Georgia

“I may be traditional, but traditions stick around for a reason. I’m sophisticated, certain, confident and reliable. Yes, I prefer to err on the side of practicality, over flamboyance, but if you’re looking for someone to take to a formal occasion, I’m the font for you. After all, people often describe me as looking “expensive”.

With such high contrast between my weights, ample letter spacing and clever design, your message will come across, loud and clear.

Want to put some power behind your presentations? I don’t mean to brag, but my bold is significantly more bold than your average. 

To put it simply: I’m a classic.”

Modern Palatino

“Pfft. A classic? A relic, you mean. Who wants classic, when you can have modern classic?

I’m popular among professionals, as my sharp edges add a dash of character, without getting too crazy. 

Originally designed for headings, I can certainly stand out from a crowd, but my open counters and carefully-weighted strokes mean I also look great as body copy.”

Phew, things are certainly heating up around here. Before you make your final choice, let’s not forget about our custom contestants.

Beautiful Proxima Nova

“Now, now, please don’t be intimidated by my beauty. 

I may be stunning, but I’m so much more. I have so many different weights, I might just be the most versatile font around. You can take me to any occasion, and I will adapt.

As a premium find, I don’t come cheap, but if you have a subscription to Adobe, you can get me through  Adobe Fonts , at no extra cost. Consider this your lucky day.” 

trendy ITC Souvenir

“I am so in right now. By choosing me you will instantly freshen up your slides and add relevance to your designs.

I combine the traditional elegance of a serif with a so-hip-it-hurts retro 90s vibe. I’m curvy in all the right places and will catapult your presentation into the here and now, without losing the credibility that comes with a classic serif.”

Hipster Montserrat

I’m a reaaaaal solid font. A hipster classic.

If you want a font that complements your check shirt, I’m your guy.” 

Flexible Raleway font

“What do you need to know about me? Well, I’m thicc. 

If you’re looking for something chunky and bold, look no further. 

Oh, you’re not? Wait, please don’t go.

I can be sleek and thin for your text pull outs, too.

Or just a regular type for body copy.

I’m diverse and eager to please. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll find a solution for you.”

Subtle Lato

“You can’t judge a book by its cover, and you can’t presume to know a font on first glance.

To the untrained eye, I might look like any other sans serif font, but just get to know me and you’ll see my originality shine through.”

And that’s everyone. Now that you’ve met our fonts, all that’s left for us to do is ask the big question…

What’s your type?

You have everything you need to make a smart decision about the best font for your PowerPoint presentation, but your adventure together is only just beginning.

Here are some more tips to get the most out of your new beau.

Perhaps one font isn’t enough?

There are many reasons that you might want to use more than one font in a presentation, however, ain’t nobody got time to pick a pair through trial and error. That’s why you come to us for our sweet presentation design services , right?

Usually, a font with a big personality paired with a more conservative font works well. Pairing a serif with a sans serif can create a nice contrast, but remember to use the sans serif for heavy body copy, as you want it to be legible. You can have a little more fun with your header type, as this tends to be larger, with more space to breathe.

Avoid pairing types that are too similar. If they aren’t distinguishable from each other it can look like you just made a mistake.

If you found it hard to decide which font to choose earlier, pairing two fonts is your chance to have your cake and eat it too. 

Some examples of good couples are:

ITC Souvenir works really well with Roboto and Futura. Roboto and Futura are classic fonts, but they don’t come native to Microsoft Office, so they will need downloading and installing.

Alternatively, our curvaceous ITC Souvenir sits pretty as a picture next to a simple font, like Proxima Nova.

Raleway works with Playfair Display, a beautiful serif font that’s available free from Google Fonts.

Montserrat, which was designed specifically for use online, works perfectly with an old-school classic, like Courier New. The light, modern feel of Montserrat contrasts beautifully with the retro, typewriter vibe of Courier New.

Or you could pair Impact with Tahoma, or even Lato, for a perfect presentation font combo.

If you’re unsure, play it safe. Choose a typeface with lots of weight variations (like Open Sans below), and pair fonts from the same family. After all, they were created to work together. Just make sure there’s enough contrast to make the two types distinguishable.

Open Sans weight variations

Finally, don’t go crazy with your number of fonts. You can be a little greedy and get away with it, but at some point, they’re all just going to start fighting one another for your affections. As a general rule for presentations, there should be no more than three or four variations in type, weight or effect. That means you can usually get away with two different typefaces. You can then bold, italicise or change the weight for the remaining variations.

How do my fonts look to other people?

We know what’s really important to you. It’s not whether you like your font choice, not really. You care that your message is communicated clearly and effectively to your audience, and your use of type plays a part in this. Here are a few tricks you can use to make sure the message you’re sending out into the world is the right one.

Be bold to stand out

Use italics to  stress  a point or to indicate a publication, such as;  How to choose the best font for your PowerPoint presentation .

A lot of people like to use  bold  to make their key information stand out. But be careful. If you embolden too many things, what’s important gets lost in a sea of bold.

We don’t see a lot of underlines these days, do we? This is something you can use to your advantage. If you have a word or phrase that really needs some bite, throw a lone underline in there for maximum impact. 

Get in line

It is really important to be consistent with your alignment choice. If your alignment jumps from left to right, to centre, back to right, the likelihood is your audience aren’t following. It makes it difficult for them to know where their eye should go, and it can make them feel pretty seasick. 

Left-aligned text is the easiest to read. In  the West , this is the most commonly-used alignment, as we read left to right. It also creates a clean left edge for our eyes to return back to, once we reach the end of the previous line. It’s like a typewriter, always returning to the same point.

Right-aligned text is usually used for decoration, or to accompany a logo. It’s not very easy to read when in large blocks, because your eyes have to do summersaults to find the beginning of the line again.

Centred text works for small snippets of text, such as posters and book covers. Like with right alignment, your eyes will struggle to follow from line to line, if it’s any more than a few sentences.

Justified text is generally acknowledged as a sure-fire way to create order. However, it can be difficult to get right. Justified text makes the words fit a pre-determined line length, by changing the distance between each word. This means each line has a sharp, consistent edge, but can create big white spaces between words called ‘rivers. Justified text can be particularly difficult for people with dyslexia to read, as the ‘rivers’ distract from the actual text.

Optimise your copy

The optimum line length for presentation copy is 50 characters. This allows the eye to keep track of where the next line starts, so the jump back is seamless.

One of the biggest peeves when it comes to working with typography in presentations is untidy sentence endings. We’re not talking about ending with a preposition, it’s only really dull people that care about that. We’re referring to how a body of text is shaped.

Avoid raggedy paragraph structures, which cause your, otherwise beautiful, design to look untidy and unfinished.

If you’re using left-aligned text, look out for any big gaps or words that hang off the end of the line. Try using a soft return to move them around, as this creates less space between lines than a hard return and notifies the brain that you’re still within the same paragraph.

The lonely hearts club

This is all great advice, until you add in the complication of widows and orphans.

A widow is a lonely word with a line all to itself. You can fix this with that soft return trick, knocking a word or two down from the line above. Your widow won’t be so lonely anymore.

Widow text example

An orphan is when that single word, or a single line, causes you to have to start a new column, or a new slide entirely. Again, either editing your copy or adjusting the structure of the whole paragraph will fix this.

Try to strike a balance between the perfect paragraph shape, and removing your widows and orphans. If you have to make the call, it’s better to have a ragged line than a widow.

Choosing the Right Font For Your PowerPoint Presentation

Whether it’s for a professional conference or middle school book report, it’s important to know the best font to use for your PowerPoint presentation . Believe it or not, fonts are a big part of the overall design of your presentation —and they can make a world of difference! Some convey a lighthearted message, while others can show authority, and so on.

Two people sitting at a coffee table collaborating on a PowerPoint presentation.

In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at:

  • The different styles of fonts
  • The 5 most popular fonts
  • How to embed fonts, and more.

What are the different styles of fonts? Before we get too deep into each font and what looks best, let’s examine font styles and how they’re classified.

  • Sans-serif fonts. Most serif fonts are easy to identify because of the tiny flags or projections on the ends of the characters. Serifs make distinguishing a lowercase L from a capital I in print easy.
  • Serif fonts. Sans-serif fonts are commonly used in digital media because serifs can make letters difficult to see if an image or screen is low-resolution.
  • Script fonts. Script fonts are also known as handwritten fonts because of the looping letters that make them look like cursive or calligraphy. Most people find it difficult to read more than a few sentences in a script font, so they’re best limited to a few words or a single phrase.
  • Monospaced fonts. Even when writing by hand, you’ll notice that not all letters take up the same amount of space. Monospaced fonts buck this trend by allotting the same amount of space laterally for all letters, similar to a typewriter.
  • Display fonts. Display fonts can also be known as fantasy or decorative fonts. These aren’t typically used for anything besides signage, banners, logos, or other text that’s isolated. Using display fonts for multiple sentences or a full paragraph isn’t a good practice because they can be hard to read or off-putting after a while.

What are the 5 most popular fonts in presentations and why? A common theme you’ll notice when looking at the best fonts for PowerPoint is that they’re traditionally sans-serif fonts. Why? Well, this style is much easier to read from a distance and won’t feel cramped if letters are bolded. Additionally, the minimalistic style of sans-serif fonts isn’t distracting from the material or the speaker. Let’s look at five fonts that fit the best practices for a winning presentation .

Note: You’ll notice a serif font on this list, but we’ll address it when we get there.

  • Roboto. Roboto is a sans-serif font that’s relatively basic, with sharp edges and rounded loops, counters, and bowls (the rounded parts of letters) without going overly bold or too thin. You can be safe using Roboto for just about any presentation.
  • Verdana. Despite the font size you choose, not all fonts display the same. Verdana is a larger sans-serif font that can make it easier to display information without taking your font up an extra size.
  • Helvetica. A point of differentiation between Helvetica and other sans-serif fonts is the weight toward the top of the letters. The top of every lowercase letter and the midpoint of every capital letter go to a thick midline’s upper edge. For instance, the top of every lowercase letter reaches the same horizontal point as the top of the crossbar on an H. This unique feature makes the Helvetica type look larger and bolder than it really is, which makes it great for headings and titles.
  • Tahoma. Tahoma is different from the previous sans-serif fonts in that it is thinner than the others. While Tahoma might not have the same impact for a heading or title as Helvetica, it’s perfect for body text and fitting into smaller spaces without crowding.
  • Palatino Linotype. Serif fonts have long been considered a no-no with digital publications, but with the advent of high-resolution computer monitors, tablets, smartphones, and TVs, they’re fine. What’s more, the serifs on Palatino Linotype aren’t incredibly prominent, so they make for a subtle nod to old-style fonts without over-embellishing.

How do you embed fonts in PowerPoint ? If you’re sharing your presentation with a friend, classmate, or colleague, you could be at risk of the fonts you used transferring properly to their device. For example, if you have a font you love using and installed it onto your computer, they might not have the same font. So, if you send your presentation to them, there could be formatting errors as their device defaults to a different font. Keep this from happening by embedding your font in PowerPoint using these easy steps:

  • Click the “File” tab.
  • Move down to the lower-lefthand corner of the window and click “Options.”
  • Click “Save” on the left side of the screen.
  • Scroll down to the section titled “Preserve fidelity when sharing this presentation:”
  • Click the box next to “Embed fonts in the file.”
  • If you or someone else will be using the presentation on a different device, then select the first option, “Embed only the characters used in the presentation (best for reducing file size).” If you or someone else will be editing the presentation on a different device, then select the second option, “Embed all characters (best for editing by other people).”
  • Click “OK.”

There you have it! Choosing the best font for PowerPoint doesn’t have to be difficult. The most important part is making sure that the font is easy to read, and sans-serif fonts are usually a good way to go. By the way, it’s always a good idea to get a second set of eyes on your presentation before your big speech—and be sure to practice it a few times to iron out the kinks !

5 Font styles that make your business presentations stand out

corporate presentation font

  • Last Updated : September 30, 2022

corporate presentation font

Two key objectives of a presentation are to convey your message to your audience and to maintain their attention. Your choice of fonts plays a significant role in setting the tone of your presentation and bringing your content to life. The right font will convey the right emotions to the reader and keep your audience hooked. Here are five font styles to use to transform your next presentation:

corporate presentation font

 A compelling and bold font, Oswald is great for headlines and subheadings. It is a professional and readable font with normal line weight that gives your slides a subtle, yet sophisticated, look. 

corporate presentation font

Raleway is a professional typeface with a clean and sharp appearance. When used for capitalized and bold text, Raleway is great for titles and headers that captivate your audience. The bold and light versions of this font are versatile and can be used anywhere, from headings to smaller content (like the text in your graphs and charts).

corporate presentation font

Classic and professional, Garamond is one of the oldest fonts still in use. This is a great choice for your title slide, as it gives your deck an elegant and sophisticated look. With a normal line weight, this font is a solid choice for professional decks.

corporate presentation font

Abel has a thin line weight that gives your presentation a simple and clean look. Quite similar to Raleway, the bold variation of this font is a good choice for your title, and the normal version can be used for your subheadings and image descriptions.

corporate presentation font

With a normal to heavy line weight, Roboto is highly readable and can be used for the body of your presentation. This is a great choice for professional slide decks and gives your content a distinctive look.

Here are some guidelines to follow before choosing a font style:

To understand whether a font is the right choice for your presentation, you first need to understand the basics of typography and their impact on creating engaging presentations . Here are some points to keep in mind:

Category:  One of the first determinations to be made when selecting a font is whether you want to use serif or sans. Choose your category depending on the length of your copy. Serif typefaces are easier to read than sans typefaces for lengthy copy, as they help the eye travel across a line. Use Sans to highlight content, like your title and headline.

corporate presentation font

Size:  The appropriate font size is subjective, and depends on other factors, like the style of your presentation, and size of the room, projector, or screen. However, the ideal font size for the title, headline, and subheading is typically between 32 and 40.

Effects: Some font styles have a heavy line weight. Making these fonts "bold" will likely make the content illegible. Choose your font effects carefully, as effects like shadows and highlights can make your slides too flashy and unappealing.

Audience:  Identify the demographics of your target audience before designing your sales deck, as not all fonts are appealing to all groups. Fonts under the Sans category are usually preferable for presentations targeting children or anyone learning to read. These fonts are also good for readers with certain visual impairments.

Use fonts wisely to differentiate and categorize the different sections of your slide. As a general principle, avoid using similar font styles, as this will make it difficult to distinguish different types of text. Remember, optimizing typography is optimizing the readability of your slide. With Show, you can explore and use a wide range of font categories for different presentation styles. You can also upload your own brand fonts using the Library feature when you're working on professional decks.

Your choice of fonts for your presentation determines its success which is why you need to be very intentional and well-informed about the different types of fonts available and how they all impact your presentation’s success.

To choose the best fonts that increase your presentation readability, legibility, and easy comprehension of your message, we have identified 5 key tips you should consider when choosing the best fonts for your presentations. They include:

1. Choose a simple font

The general idea of choosing a professional font for your presentation is to aid readability and get them to stick with you. Using complicated (hard-to-read) fonts like most scripts and decorative fonts will make your presentation design look chaotic, making it hard for your audience to read what’s on your slides.

However, simple and easy-to-read fonts like serif and san serif fonts, contribute to the overall aesthetics of the design and encourage readers to pay attention to you. Check out the perfect presentation design ideas for inspiration.

2. Prioritize a Sans Serif font over a Serif font

Although we have earlier stated that you should Sans serif and serif fonts over the script and decorative fonts. However, if you are faced with choosing between a San Serif font and a Serif font, you should choose a sans serif font over a serif.

This is solely because the sans serif typeface is much easier to read on-screen compared with the serif font style that has a tail at the end of the letters. Using a modern sans serif font can enhance legibility, readability, and audience attention .

3. Avoid all caps fonts

Although several findings have reported that using capital letters in writing conveys a feeling of power, the audience may perceive this as you shouting at them. In addition to this, using all-caps fonts can also be difficult to read, especially in a block of text.

4. Choose a font that looks good in big and small sizes

The general rule for choosing font sizes in your PowerPoint presentation is not to go below 24 points for the title and 14 – 16 points for the text. To increase readability, keep in mind to choose a font that looks good when thin or thick to aid clarity and quality irrespective of the size even when scaled from 120 points down to 12 points.

5. Choose a different font for your titles and headings

For better readability, consider using different fonts for your title, heading, and subheading fonts to create better emphasis and visual hierarchy. However, keep in mind to not have more than four (4) fonts in your presentation to create a cohesive and visually organized design. The fonts should also be bold and have a bigger font size.

6. Choose complementary fonts

5 classic presentation fonts feature

5 Classic Presentation Fonts

Every computer comes with a set of fonts pre-installed as standard. What you probably didn’t know is that some of those fonts rock for presentations!

Here are five ‘ classic ‘ presentation fonts that we often use in our designs.

At The Presentation Designer , we use these fonts when custom fonts aren’t an option if multiple computers are sharing a PowerPoint template.

These are the five classic presentation fonts that will look good in any PowerPoint or Keynote presentation if you know how to use them correctly!

1. Helvetica

helvetica presentation font

Quick, somebody, please alert the Helvetica police! You’ve probably heard it recommended time and time again, but Helvetica rocks this world.

It is a flexible, diverse and robust typeface.

The beauty of Helvetica is in its neutrality, a font that can blend to any style, like that of a chameleon in but in the font world.

If I could summarise Helvetica in one sentence, it would be: “Clarity with complete simplicity.”

The font Helvetica was designed and created by Max Miedinger & Eduard Hoffmann in the late 1950s.

Interestingly, Helvetica was originally named Die Neue Haas Grotesk (I’m sure that name went down well with the cool kids).

Helvetica has been extremely popular typeface with corporations.

America Apparel, for example, uses it for their logo. Here are 40 Excellent Logos that use Helvetica.

In presentations, Helvetica is powerful and can add real impact, but it doesn’t take over the limelight.

It is also effortless to read at different sizes and weights.

Some people may confuse Arial with Helvetica due to their number of similarities. To the non-typography connoisseur’s eye, it is hard to tell the difference between the two.

I found an excellent comparison of the two typefaces for you to compare.

I am also a big fan of Arial , but it didn’t quite make this top 5 list. (Plus, I would have frowned upon by a few of my designer buddies had I selected Arial above others on this list.)

2. Garamond

garamond presentation fonts

Not a typeface many would automatically go for but a great font all the same. I like Garamond for its more mature qualities.

It is a typeface that always remains professional with quite a clean, sharp appearance.

Garamond has a rich history behind it and one of the reasons I love it! Claude Garamond, a French publisher from Paris, created the font and was one of the leading type designers of his time.

The original typeface created for a French King called Francis I in the 1540s.

There have been many later versions of Garamond created, including numerous variations (trying to improve on the original version) such as a custom variant of the ITC Garamond typeface, called Apple Garamond .

futura presentation fonts

Futura is a Sans-serif typeface (meaning it has no serifs), designed between 1924 and 1926 by typeface designer Paul Renner and created during the Bauhaus period, commissioned by the Bauer type foundry.

A fun fact for you: the Apollo 11 astronauts left a commemorative plaque on the moon in 1969. The text set in Futura .

Futura is another font that is great for readability and one of the reasons it’s excellent in presentations, an elegant font that has a real personality.

There is an excellent article on Futura’s amazing past to see how the typeface has changed in design over the years.

4. Gill Sans

gill sans presentation fonts

Gill Sans created by British graphic artist and sculptor Eric Gill, I’ve always had a soft spot for Gill Sans. It used to be my go-to font during my school years.

Another Sans Serif font, Gill Sans , presents a friendly and warm look without being too overstated. Some refer to Gill Sans as ‘ the British Helvetica’ .

Initially, it had been inspired by the typeface Johnston , by Edward Johnston. The Johnston typeface had previously been used for Transport for London on the London Underground in 1913. Eric Gill was once Johnston’s apprentice.

Gill Sans was popularised during its use as the typeface for all LNER’s ( London and North Eastern Railway ) posters and publicity material in the late 1920s.

whitby lner agency poster

The BBC logo still uses the typeface to this day, and it is still a popular modern font with many designers around the world. A true design classic.

5. Rockwell

rockwell presentation fonts

Last but not least, one of my most favourite fonts of all time is Rockwell .

The typeface was designed at Monotype foundry’s in-house design studio in 1934.

Rockwell is a font that is bold and vigorous, and it will give your presentation a distinct, confident look about it.

Rockwell primary use should be for display because of its mono-weighted stroke .

I’m a big fan of using Rockwell for significant points and headline text. It can add impact to your design if used right.

I’d suggest further reading this article exploring the use of Rockwell .

Nice artiicle 🙂 I like to use Calibri – a nice clear font.

Thanks for the comment Toby. I’ll have to return the favour. Calibri is nice. Standard Office 2011 + font these days I believe.

Avatar of TheKoreanMale

Arial sucks too simple. Good for readability, but too drab. Futura rocks, as well as Rockwell.

Avatar of Amaan

Pretty nice collection. But don’t know why they are not coming as neat as its visible here on PowerPoint.

Avatar of Anirudh Krishna
