26 Best Fonts for Presentations 

• Archivo Black
• Libre-Baskerville
• Abril Fatface
• League Spartan
• Playfair Display
• DM Serif Display
• Dela Gothic One

Presentation Font #1: Lato

We’ve all seen a million and two presentations using standard fonts like Arial and Times New Roman. Lato often serves as a default font choice in many cases. This sans-serif typeface offers a more contemporary appearance.

Plus, the variety of weights that Lato is available in – from thin to light to bold and more – helps to ramp up this font’s overall appeal.

This font can be used in a variety of different ways, as we’ll see in the presentation templates below.

In this presentation below, we see Lato used as the header font in each slide. It’s paired with a thicker serif font to create a nice balance between the two types of fonts.

Here’s another presentation example using Lato as the main header. Both of these examples are using Lato Light to create a more sleek and modern look in their slide decks.

However, as we see in the above presentation, Lato’s normal and bold weights work perfectly for offsetting the light in various headings and designs.

Lato is a modern and readable font, making it perfect for nearly any type of presentation. However, it works perfectly for conveying your professionalism in a pitch deck as well, like we’ve shown you in these examples.

Presentation Font #2: Roboto

Another great font to use in your presentations is Roboto. Roboto is yet another basic sans serif font that works across a variety of industries and types of presentations .

Roboto is a suitable font to use for your body text, like we see below in this presentation.

All of the main body paragraphs are easy to read in Roboto, as well as professional and well designed.

We see Roboto used again below in this presentation sharing workout apps.

Here, it’s also used as the main font for body copy within the presentation. This just goes to show that this font can be used for nearly any type of presentation as well as any industry.

Roboto also pairs well with many other fonts, whether a serif like Garamond, a sans serif like Gill Sans or a script like Pacifico.

Presentation Font #3: Bentham

Bentham is a stunning serif font that works perfectly as a header font in your business presentations . It’s easy to read and gives your presentation a more traditional look and feel.

We use the Bentham font in our simple presentation theme, as you can see below.

This font can be used as uppercase, title case or even lowercase, whatever fits in best with the rest of your design. In the simple presentation theme, we have over 300 different slide styles to help you put together a unique and beautiful presentation.

Bentham is a free font that you can easily access inside Visme when creating your presentation design. Add letter spacing to create a different effect on your slides.

Pair Bentham with a sans serif font for your body copy like Open Sans (that we’ll cover shortly) or Futura .

Create a stunning presentation in less time

• Hundreds of premade slides available
• Add animation and interactivity to your slides
• Choose from various presentation options

Presentation Font #4: Fira Sans

Fira Sans is a stunning font that is incredibly versatile. In fact, you can utilize Fira Sans as both your header and body font, with another font in the mix to act only as an accent font.

See what we mean in this PowerPoint template below.

While Fira Sans is used in both normal and bold weights for the majority of the slide content, we see a nice serif thrown in as well to offset the single presentation font.

We can see Fira Sans used in multiple ways in this informational presentation template below as well.

This gorgeous sans serif font can be used in bold, italic, underline and more, giving you a wide variety of uses for this one font selection. Give it a try in your next presentation.

Presentation Font #5: Archivo Black

Archivo Black is a bold and strong font that looks powerful in all caps, like in the presentation example below. This font works perfectly on titles in both large and smaller sizes because it has a heavy presence.

In this presentation, Archivo Black is paired with Work Sans, a perfectly agreeable sans serif font that is easy to read in body text and captions.

When deciding what fonts to pair together, take a look at the Font Pairs collection in the left-hand toolbar of the Visme editor. In there, you’ll find hundreds of great pairings to use in your presentations.

Presentation Font #6: Montserrat

Montserrat is a big favorite of ours here at Visme given that a large majority of our own headings across our website are done in this font.

However, it’s one of the top font choices you can use as well for the headings on your PowerPoint slides.

Check out how we’ve used Montserrat as a header in this marketing plan presentation template.

It’s bold and helps your slide titles and headers to stand out to your audience, letting them know exactly what to expect each time you move to a new slide.

Here’s another example where we’ve used Montserrat, but this time we’ve used a thinner version in the header.

This versatile font almost looks like a completely different typeface when you switch up its weight, giving you even more flexibility for using it across your various presentations.

As you can see, Montserrat can be the font to choose when creating a marketing or business plan presentation as it’s both professional and visually appealing.

Montserrat also pairs well with a variety of different fonts. Try a thin sans serif for a nice contrast in your next PowerPoint.

Presentation Font #7:  Open Sans

Open Sans is a commonly used font for body paragraphs in your presentation slides due to its legibility. Because it’s a basic sans serif font, it’s the perfect way to visualize the larger pieces of text you might need to include on a slide.

Here’s a presentation template that showcases Open Sans as the main font for the body copy.

However, Open Sans shouldn’t be discounted as only a paragraph typeface. In fact, you can also use it in professional presentations to help your headings stand out clearly, increasing readability.

Take a look at this stock pitch presentation that uses Open Sans as the large font for the title and headings on each page. We used Open Sans in two different weights, creating a font pair that looks balanced and unique.

If you’re looking for the right font to ensure your presentation is easy to read and digest, Open Sans is a great choice.

Presentation Font #8: Dosis

Dosis is another go-to presentation font for any industry. It’s a fun sans serif font with rounded edges and tall, thin letters, giving it a more futuristic look.

Here’s an example of how an industry focused presentation can use Dosis in – a slide deck for a restaurant’s marketing plan.

In this example, Dosis is used in all caps on the title slide and in the headings on each slide. This template has added a unique design that incorporates a two-color composition that makes the font contrast with the background.

Below, we have another impressive presentation template using Dosis in a similar fashion. It’s paired here with sans serif font Source Sans Pro, providing a modern combination fit for a tech startup pitch deck.

Similarly, we see that Dosis works well in all caps and can be used in a variety of designs in order to make the text stand out that much more.

Presentation Font #9: Libre-Baskerville

Another quality PowerPoint font to consider using in your presentations is Libre-Baskerville. This is a Google font that you can use for free inside many presentation software , Visme included!

Libre-Baskerville is a serif font style that can be paired with a variety of other fonts and color schemes, creating a more traditional look and feel for your presentation.

We use Libre-Baskerville in all caps as headings in our Modern presentation theme. This theme has over 800 different slide designs so you can pick and choose the ones that work best for your presentation needs.

However, this font can also be used in body paragraphs just as easily, as it’s clear and legible and easy to read.

In the presentation template below, we’ve paired Libre-Baskerville with Josefin Sans in the header, creating a classic look and feel for any presentation deck .

Libre Baskerville is a timeless font choice that never goes out of style and adds a sleek touch to any presentation you need to create.

Presentation Font #10: Muli

Muli is a versatile font that looks professional in both headings and body copy. As a sans-serif font, it’s bottom-heavy, so it sits well on the line, giving a sense of control. Its roundness makes it friendly and easy to read.

This presentation uses Muli for the titles in a medium size and a lower size for small headings. The pairing of Muli with Lato works well with the colors and shapes in the rest of the design.

Presentation Font #11: Abril Fatface

If you’re looking for a bolder font that grabs attention, a slab serif like Abril Fatface might be just the font you’re looking for. This could pair nicely with a standard font like Helvetica or Verdana or a thinner serif like Georgia or Palatino.

Check out how we’ve incorporated this bold font into the headings of the below annual report presentation design.

Abril Fatface is a great font for creating eye-catching headlines on your slides, but should only be used with short headings or pieces of text. A bold font like this can be hard to read in paragraphs or longer sentences.

Look at how good this Abril Fatface looks on the 3rd slide of this presentation.

The presentation below also uses Abril Fatface for the headings on each slide. The font has so much personality that it looks beautiful on its own and placed over bold colors.

If you’re looking for a slab serif font alternative, use fonts like Rockwell or a bolded Trocchi in your next Visme or PowerPoint presentation .

You could even look into custom fonts from sites like DaFont and import them into your Visme brand kit .

Presentation Font #12:  KoHo

The next font on our list is KoHo, a unique sans serif font that can be used in more playful presentations. 

Whether you’re creating a presentation for school , a video presentation to play in your office or something else entirely, KoHo can be one of the best fonts to utilize.

We incorporated KoHo into our Creative presentation theme in the various headings of each slide.

This is another one of our massive presentation themes, offering hundreds of slide designs for you to choose from. However, as the name suggests, this one has a more creative and playful feel to it.

If you need to create a pitch deck for investors or a sales presentation for new clients, KoHo and the Creative theme might not be for you. 

However, if you’re embedding a slideshow onto your blog or sharing an informational presentation on SlideShare, KoHo could be a better suited choice to engage your audience.

Presentation Font #13: Helvetica 

Helvetica is a classic sans serif font that has a very loyal fanbase, and for good reason.

As seen most clearly in capitalized texts, the upper half of the texts are quite large when compared to other san serifs fonts. 

This allows the Helvetica fonts to have near-symmetrical proportionality when measuring the upper and lower portions of a text. These proportions make the identification of letters easier at a distance, like in the template example above. 

This fact makes Helvetica a great font to use for headers and titles in live presentations where there may be people “sitting in the back row ” and viewing your presentation from a distance. 

To clearly communicate your main points, be sure to use Helvetica as a bold text on headings and titles.

Presentation Font #14: Cormorant

Cormorant is a sleek and modern serif font.

We like to think of Cormorant as a good alternative for Times New Roman but with a moderate and tasteful change.

With a dynamic range of varying thicknesses, Cormorant appears to have a calligraphic feel and look while still maintaining a sense of professionalism.

While artistic and expressive, Cormorant is still fully legible and usable in a professional environment, as you can see in this presentation template.

Our recommendation is that you choose a font color that is a complementary color to the background. This helps separate the thin portions of the font from the background.

Should the variations in thickness prove too much for your taste, consider dialing back that expression by using Cormorant in its bold format. By thickening up the thinner lines, the variations are less noticeable and may be more suitable for a given context. 

Cormorant is a modern serif font that works well in titles, headings, subtitles for subpoints or paragraphs.

Presentation Font #15: Prompt

Prompt is a geometric sans serif font designed for Latin and Thai languages. Its geometric quality gives it a solid and stable feel that will give your presentation a unique look.

In this modern presentation example, Prompt appears in all titles and subheadings. It’s paired with Montserrat, another san serif with personality. These fonts together do look a bit similar to each other but balance each other out in terms of weight and thickness.

Choose this font specifically if you’re creating a presentation in Thai and need the words to be legible and well-balanced.

Presentation Font #16: League Spartan

League Spartan is a simple sans serif font, that is bold, uniform and minimalistic by nature and is great for headings and titles.

Because it's hefty even with the bold setting turned off, you may want to take extra precautions when using League Spartan for paragraphs or letter bodies. 

League Spartan works great as a header for infographics or cartoon-style presentations, like in the template above. 

The purpose of an infographic is to take difficult or complex information and turn it into easy-to-remember points. The reason that League Spartan works so well with infographics is its simplicity. 

To help set the overall tone of an infographic, you can use a simplified san serif font like League Spartan. A font like this will simplify an important or complex data point and make it feel easy to understand. 

Presentation Font #17: Poppins

Poppins is a versatile and linear san serif font. 

Poppins is linear because of its strong vertical terminals, which are the end of a stroke that is not a serif. This gives the font a sense of weight and vertical authority, making it great for strong, stand-out titles and headers.

Not only is Poppins a wonderful choice for titles and headers, but it also works well for titles, text bodies and subtitles, as you can see in our presentation template below. 

The linear and versatile aspects of Poppins has made this font a favorite in the business and professional world. It feels casual, yet is still very professional.

Presentation Font #18: Playfair Display

What can we say about Playfair Display, other than it’s an incredibly chic and fashionable serif font. 

This font has a strong box feel as most of the characters stay between the baseline and X-height. This means that most of the letters do not dip far below the line, nor do they rise above most of the other letters.

This makes Playfair Display an excellent choice for strong titles and headers, as you can see in our presentation template below.

Many fonts that go after the “box look” fail at being legible from a distance. 

To avoid this problem and make the letters more pronounced, Playfair Display uses a variety of thicknesses in the stem of their letters when compared to the arms and other extensions. 

Playfair display is a classy and elegant font designed to be used as headers or titles. While it can still be used in paragraphs, you may want to limit its usage to shorter portions of your text.

Similarly sized and spaced words written in this style can be disorienting for some readers. So instead, consider using Playfair Display as a font for titles, quotes or various subtitles in your presentation.

Presentation Font #19: Raleway

Raleway is a modern sans serif font that was originally designed to be used as a lightweight font. But after its release and by popular demand, Raleway was given heavier and italicized versions for its fans to use. 

The bold and light versions of this font are extremely versatile and can be used anywhere from bold headers to lighter parts of the body in your presentations, as you can see in our presentation template below.

The italicized version of Raleway has slightly off-centered bowls and shoulders in certain letters. This means that the markings that are not the stem are purposefully written higher or lower than normal. 

This is a subtle artistic flair that does not influence readability. Some people find that swashes actually help increase legibility with these off-centered markings. 

Presentation Font #20: Otama

This type of font pairs well with a solid sans serif like Lato Light. In this presentation example, Otama and Lato Light in all caps work together to create a professional design that stands out and makes a statement.

Presentation Font #21: Lora

Lora is a unique serif font that was made in a contemporary style. 

Drawing its inspiration from calligraphy and traditional fonts, Lora is an excellent balance between an artistic and professional font. 

Lora has very pronounced arches leaping away from the stem of each letter. This gives the font family a more “bubbly” feel to it, while still maintaining a sense of clean professionalism.

To unleash Lora’s true artistic nature, you’ll want to turn on the italics. When italics mode is activated, each letter receives additional swashes, giving it a more hand-written feel.

If you add weight to its default thickness, Lora works well for both titles and headers and when set to its default settings, Lora truly shines as a font in paragraphs and bodies, as you can see in our presentation template below.

Presentation Font #22: Inter

You can use Inter in different weights throughout a presentation or pair it with a versatile font like Lato Light to give the composition a bit of visual variety. The presentation example below uses Inter in mixed-case and Lato Light in all-caps for headings and mixed-case for body text.

Presentation Font #23: Noto Sans

Noto Sans is a basic sans serif font that makes for a great presentation font. Clean and easy to read, it can be used in a variety of different ways from slide to slide.

Take a look at this presentation template below. The main font used throughout the headers and content is Noto Sans, creating a clean and cohesive presentation design.

The above presentation template also uses a script font for the author name on the first slide as well as another sans serif font (Poppins) for some body content.

Having a nice mixture between the two ensures the presentation isn't boring—but it's still clean and uncluttered. Poppins is another font on this list. Try mixing 2-3 different fonts from our recommended fonts to create a stunning presentation design.

Presentation Font #24: Heebo

Heebo is one of the more unique sans serif fonts on our list, but it works perfectly for presentation slide headers. As a thin, tall font, it works better in a larger size than it would for content.

Take a look at how we've used Heebo in this presentation template below. It remains in an all-caps format, typically for headers from slide to slide.

We've also creatively used the font by juxtaposing it atop purple squares, helping to create a design element out of text. Consider how you can do the same thing in your presentations.

Presentation Font #25: DM Serif Display

Our next top font is a beautifully bold serif font. DM Serif Display is a perfect header font for a more traditional presentation design. Serifs tend to seem more old-fashioned, so keep that in mind when creating your next presentation. Maybe a serif will best fit with your audience.

Take a look at this template below to see DM Serif Display in action.

In the above presentation, we've paired this bold serif font with a nice thin sans serif to pull the design together. Sometimes opposites attract and help you to create a beautiful presentation design that your audience will love.

Presentation Font #26: Dela Gothic One

Dela Gothic One is a thick and chunky font with a strong feel. It’s ideal for headings on posters, packaging and in titles on presentations. This font has a lot of power and is best paired with a simple sans serif font or even a classic serif like Garamond for body copy.

For a bolder outcome, use Dela Gothic One in all caps, like we did in the presentation example below. Each slide includes a strong title in Dela Gothic One in a color that contrasts with the background.

4 Tips for Choosing a Presentation Font

If you’re new to creating presentations, follow these tips to find the best font for your design.

1. Choose Fonts That Improve Readability

Most PowerPoint presentations include two different types of text titles or headings and paragraph text. When designing both types of text, you need to take readability into account.

Where are you presenting your slideshow? Will it be at a big conference for a big crowd? Or a small team meeting at the office? Depending on the situation, choose a font and a font size appropriately. For example, if you’re presenting the slideshow to a crowd at a large hall, you may want to use an easy to read sans-serif font with larger font size for paragraph text to let people in every corner read the text more easily.

2. Use No More Than Two Fonts

It’s best to use two different fonts for your titles and paragraph text. But, avoid using more than two fonts. Some people actually use one font for titles, one for bullet points, one for paragraphs, and another for sub-headings. This is a mistake that only creates confusion and destroys professionalism.

Use two matching font pairs for titles and paragraphs, preferably sans-serif fonts.

3. Keep Consistency

One of the biggest mistakes people make when using fonts in presentations is choosing different font styles that ruin readability. For example, using a script font for paragraphs is a terrible choice.

When choosing different fonts, also remember to keep consistency. Don’t use different fonts for each and every slide in your presentation.

4. Avoid Using All-Caps Fonts

Some fonts only include uppercase letters and doesn’t come with lowercase letters. When choosing a font, remember to check whether your font includes both sets of letters.

While all-caps text is suitable for designing titles and headings, it’s not a good choice for body text. You should try to avoid using all-caps fonts altogether especially when designing professional and business presentations.

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 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 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

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.

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 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 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. 

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 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 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 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 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!

Presentations are pieces of art. From slide structure to animations, every single detail matters. In this blog post, we will show you the 24 best PowerPoint fonts for all uses. Of course, like everything in design – you might like some and frown at others.

What we can guarantee you is that using this collection of top fonts for PowerPoint will always be a safe bet when you’re in doubt.

Article Overview: 1. How to import a font into your presentation? 2. Great Fonts to Use for your PowerPoint Presentations 3. Great System fonts for PowerPoint Presentations 4. How to design text in PowerPoint?

1. How to import a font into your presentation?

If you don’t know how to import fonts into PowerPoint, it’s important to learn how to do it.

Step 1. Download your fonts

The first step is to select your desired font and download it.

Step 2. Extract the font

Once you’ve downloaded the font, it’s most probably compressed. You need to extract it before installation. If it comes directly as a .otf or .ttf format, there’s no need to unzip.

Step 3. Install the font

Install the font. The process is similar to installing any software, just press “Next” until you see the option “Finish”. If your fonts have been successfully installed, they should appear in the Font library in Windows. To access it, go to your computer, Local Disk (C:)->Windows-> Fonts .

Step 4. Open PowerPoint

Once you open your PowerPoint, the new font should appear among the others.

2. Great Fonts to Use for your PowerPoint Presentations

Fonts are a great way to show some branding skills but also a significant part of your presentation. Of course, we cannot select the best PowerPoint fonts or the best fonts in general, it’s a too subjective matter. But we will try to show you some of the most versatile ones that you will not make a mistake with. Let’s start!

Lato is a very common font that is used in digital forms since it was created for this purpose. It is a sans-serif font that is flexible. One of the most useful things about it is that you can choose between 5 different options for font thickness, giving it extra value when creating PowerPoint presentations.

Recommended title size:  20px

Optimum size for legibility:  18px

Perfect for:  headers and body text

You can combine it with: Roboto, Montserrat, Merriweather

2. Open Sans

Open Sans is another great font that can fit PowerPoint presentations perfectly. Since there is some line spacing, it can be easily readable. If you have large paragraphs that you cannot break down in bullets, it’s your perfect choice. It’s a standard PowerPoint font, so you’ll most probably have it in your font library.

Recommended title size: 28px

Optimum size for legibility:  16px

Perfect for:  body text

You can combine it with: Georgia, Lucida Grande, Publico

Candara is not your everyday font. While you cannot use it in Linux or the web, as it’s proprietary,  it’s accessible in PowerPoint, and what makes it interesting are the curved diagonals, and it’s the curves that give it more “personality”.

Recommended title size: 20px

Optimum size for legibility: 16px

Perfect for: body text

You can combine it with: Calibri, Cambria, Corbel

Specifically designed for Windows 95, Tahoma is a very formal font that can fit business presentations perfectly. It is a very clear and distinctive font which can help avoid confusion, thus it makes it great for formal presentations that need clarity.

Optimum size for legibility: 18px

Perfect for: title headers and body text

You can combine it with:  Georgia, Helvetica Neue, Arial

5. Montserrat

Montserrat is an extremely popular font, as it can be utilized everywhere – from website texts to presentations. Due to its high practicality, you can find it almost anywhere. Well, we need to warn you that you won’t get many “originality” points but you’ll also be “safe” when using it.

Recommended title size: 30px

You can combine it with: Open Sans, Lora, Carla

Whitney is an amazing font that will make your presentation stand out. There are two options – Whitney Condensed and Whitney Narrow. To be honest, Whitney can be used for both headers and body texts (check Discord), but we find it a bit overwhelming for PowerPoint paragraphs.

Recommended title size: 22px

Optimum size for legibility: 15px

Perfect for: title headers

You can combine it with:  Sentinel, Mercury, Gotham

7. Proxima Nova

Proxima Nova is one of the most versatile fonts out there with not 2 but 7 variants! That makes it a viable choice for many purposes and it’s part of the Adobe Fonts collection. The popularity spike is not without a reason, and Proxima Nova certainly won’t disappoint as it is one of the better fonts for PowerPoint.

Recommended title size: 26px

Perfect for: headers and body text

You can combine it with:  Adobe Garamond, Futura, Helvetica Neue

Oswald is a very decent sans-serif typeface and has 3 different versions – light, normal, and bold. It’s an interesting combination of some modern elements combined with classic gothic style, thus it’s perfect for your presentations.

Recommended title size: 18px

You can combine it with: Merriweather, Arial, Roboto

Europa is an amazing font from the Adobe Font Family. It’s a modern geometric sans-serif font that goes well with other fonts from the Adobe family but it can be used in a combination with non-Adobe fonts. It’s up to you.

Recommended title size: 32px

Optimum size for legibility: 20px

Perfect for: headers

You can combine it with:  Adobe Garamond, Chaparral, Kepler

Roboto is one of the most versatile fonts for the web, as it comes with 6 variations. Described as a grotesque sans-serif, it is the default font of Google Maps. Being easy to read makes it great for body texts where scanning is pivotal. While it’s great for small texts, it doesn’t perform that well for titles.

Recommended title size: 38px

Optimum size for legibility: 22px

You can combine it with: Roboto-Slab, Oswald, Abel

Adelle is a slab serif font that is part of the Adobe Family. It’s multipurpose and could work be well utilized and magazines. Its personality and great visibility make it a viable choice on our PowerPoint fonts list. While it can be used for body text too, we prefer to recommend it for headers.

Recommended title size: 36px

You can combine it with: Freight Sans Pro, Proxima Nova, Lucida Grande

14. Lobster

Lobster is a great choice if you want to create some funky text. It’s a great font for posters and headers but ensure you don’t use it much for body text, as it has very poor legibility if written in small letters.

Recommended title size: 58px

Optimum size for legibility: not recommended

You can combine it with: Lato, Open Sans, Muli

Futura is almost a century old but still converts well today! It’s one of the most versatile fonts for PowerPoint in case you download it. Who would suppose a 95-year-old font would still be relevant these days? And you will win points for creativity.

Optimum size for legibility: 17px

You can combine it with: Proxima Nova, New Caledonia, Trade Gothic

Canela is a hybrid font, as it can neither be called serif, nor sans-serif. It’s a very graceful typeface and we find it amazing for title texts. We also loved how it performs in the body from an artistic standpoint. However, we cannot rate it as very suitable for long paragraphs. Still, it can be used in bullets quite well.

You can combine it with: Caslon, Futura, Maison Neue

Aleo is an modern slab serif typeface designed as a “companion” to other popular fonts, like Lato. It has a sleek design but that doesn’t sacrifice readability which matters the most. As it has great clarity, it can be used both as a title text and in the body.

Recommended title size: 25px

Optimum size for legibility: 19px

You can combine it with: Lato, Arimo, Halis Grotesque

18. Poppins

Poppins is a playful sans-serif font that can be used as a main PowerPoint font without any issue. Thanks to its versatility, this PowerPoint font can be used both for title headers and body text, although we prefer the latter.

Recommended title size: 24px

Perfect for: header, body text

You can combine it with: Raleway, Work Sans, New Caledonia

Eras font has 4 weight options in PowerPoint and is absolutely stunning. It won’t be a mistake if we use it as a synonym to “elegance”. It’s slightly italic, thus making it perfect for long paragraphs and web content.

You can combine it with: Garamond, Futura, Helvetica Neue

Lora is a great font that is offered for free by Google. It is a formal font that doesn’t turn its back on art, and as a result, it can be utilized greatly in PowerPoint both as a header and in the body, and it can work perfectly in print, too.

You can combine it with: Lato, Avenir, Montserrat

3. Great System fonts for PowerPoint Presentations

System fonts are a classic choice for PowerPoint presentations as they are a pretty safe bet – you can access them on all types of devices and operating systems. While some of them might not be as beautiful as the previous ones on our list, they will serve you well!

21. Georgia

Georgia is a classic serif font that doesn’t impress with outstanding looks but what makes it a viable choice for PowerPoint presentations is its versatility – you can use it on any type of presentation, as a header or in the body. It’s popular, so you won’t make a mistake using it.

You can combine it with:

22. Times New Roman

Times New Roman was “The Thing” back in time. It was used as a default font for many web browsers and software, thus it was overwhelming. Recently, this serif font has lost its “halo” and is less common but you will never get it wrong if you bring it back to life.

Optimum size for legibility: 12px

You can combine it with: Arial, Gotham, Helvetica Neue

Arial is another well-known name in the web font industry. You can also check this neo-grotesque sans-serif font used in PowerPoint presentations quite often, as it offers a lot of versatility.

You can combine it with: Oswald, Verdana, Georgia

24. Helvetica Neue

Helvetica Neue is the successor of Helvetica which improved legibility and made it more modern. It is one of the most formal fonts that you can use in PowerPoint (and at all). This sans-serif font has 23 different variations in PowerPoint 2022 that you can choose from.

You can combine it with:  Open Sans, Proxima Nova, Adelle

4. How to design text in PowerPoint?

There are certain standards that should be met, in order for your PowerPoint fonts to appear correctly. Let’s see how to order your texts.

1. Make sure the font size is readable

Do you wonder why some websites have HUGE fonts? It’s to ensure their content will be easily scannable. While you don’t have to use a 60px font size for your letters, you should consider making your text more readable.

Pro tip : A simple and straightforward way to achieve this is to try and remove large paragraphs, and replace them with single sentences and bullet points.

2. Make a contrast between the text and background

There is an adopted standard of a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio between text and background for content to be scannable, and 3:1 for large text. There are people who have bad eyesight, and others are color blind.

3. Use white space

White space (or negative space) is crucial for your slide design. It is used to separate different parts of the text, making content more readable. It’s crucial to remember that you should leave some “air” after finishing a main point in the slide.

4. Find the right text balance

One of the best PowerPoint presentation practices is to write between 6-8 lines and use no more than 30-35 words. Also, you should try to balance the text evenly – you cannot write 4 lines, then follow them with 3 lines, and then 1. Typically, writing 2-3 lines per paragraph is considered a good move, then followed by white space.

Final words

Structuring your PowerPoint text is not an easy feat. You need to pick the right PowerPoint fonts, as well as follow some basic instructions to make your slide text more scannable for your audience.

The best fonts for PowerPoint can make a significant impact on your designs. If you’re curious about which ones made the cut in this list, check out the roundup below!

When it comes to the most fascinating fonts best utilized for PowerPoint presentations, there aren’t any hard rules. Still, you’ll want to consider a handful of things.

sponsored message

Firstly, PowerPoint projects require fonts that are headline-ready.

In other words, you’ll want to use fonts that are instantly easy to read. Since texts on a PowerPoint are typically kept to a minimum, it’s best to go for typography that balances striking and legible.

Secondly, it goes without saying how the theme of your report should dictate how lavish or conservative your font should be. For creative pitches, the sky is the limit, and whatever visual solution helps you best articulate your ideas is never a bad thing.

If you’re presenting a generally more formal presentation, however, you’ll want to just go for traditional-looking and recognizable fonts.

Overall, you can be as expressive and subtle as you choose to be with your presentation fonts. All things considered, let’s go over the 18 best fonts for Powerpoint.

We appreciate the attention to detail in this font’s design. The Along Sans font family has evolved to reflect geometry-based glyph design and modern typography trends.

Setting it apart is the considerate reimagining of the lowercase letters a, d, and u, aimed at softening the otherwise edgy nature of the grotesque style.

This refinement extends to all the glyphs, focusing more on balance and rhythm, making Along Sans a smart tool for designers.

Moreover, the standard ligatures of the previous version have been returned to discretionary ligatures, aligning them with their original purpose.

In addition to its design enhancements, Along Sans offers support for basic Cyrillic and Ukrainian language sets, broadening its versatility for various language needs.

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

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.

20 Best PowerPoint Fonts to Make Your Presentation Stand Out in 2024

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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 .

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.

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. 

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. 

Open Sans + Roboto

Didot + DIN Mittelschrift

Bodoni + Gill Sans

Rockwell + Bembo

Bebas Neue + Montserrat Light

Helvetica Neue + Garamond

Oswald + Lato

Baskerville + Montserrat

Lora + Poppins

Book Antiqua + Myriad Pro

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 | 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.

How to choose the best fonts for PowerPoint?

• Readability : Prioritize fonts that are easy to read, even from a distance. Steer clear of overly ornate or decorative fonts that may hinder comprehension.
• Consistency : Maintain font consistency throughout your presentation. Stick to two or three fonts at most to create a cohesive and professional look.
• Audience and Purpose : Consider your audience and the purpose of your presentation. Formal presentations may call for classic, serif fonts, while creative or informal presentations can benefit from more playful, sans-serif fonts.
• Contrast : Use font contrast to your advantage. Pair a bold font for headers with a more straightforward font for body text to create visual interest and hierarchy.
• Testing : Experiment with different fonts in your PowerPoint design. Test them on sample slides to see how they look in context, both in terms of style and legibility, before finalizing your choices.

What are PowerPoint fonts usually used for?

• Readability and Clarity : Fonts in PowerPoint are primarily used to ensure the text on slides is clear and easily readable, facilitating the communication of information and ideas.
• Visual Hierarchy : Fonts help establish a visual hierarchy in presentations. Different font styles, sizes, and weights distinguish headings, subheadings, and body text, guiding the audience's attention.
• Tone and Style : Fonts play a vital role in conveying the tone and style of the presentation. They can communicate formality, creativity, professionalism, or informality, depending on your choice.
• Branding and Consistency : Fonts contribute to maintaining branding consistency in presentations. Organizations often have specific fonts associated with their identity, which can be used to reinforce brand recognition.
• Visual Appeal and Impact : Fonts can be creatively employed to add visual interest and personality to slides. Unique or stylized fonts can be used for emphasis, thematic alignment, or to engage the audience's visual senses.

In conclusion, this exploration of the 25 best fonts for PowerPoint reveals a versatile range of typographic choices to enhance your presentations. Among them, three fonts shine – Impact , ideal for bold headings and capturing attention; Goudy Old Style , a timeless choice for balanced and readable body text; and Century Gothic , offering a clean and modern design to maintain professionalism. Like a painter's palette, these fonts empower you to craft impactful messages that resonate with your audience, whether you're delivering a corporate report or a captivating sales pitch, ensuring your words leave a lasting impression with a touch of sophistication and contemporary flair.

20 Best Fonts for Professional PowerPoint: Adios! You Won’t See Arial and Times New Roman Anymore

Ulfah Alifah

• Published on April 28, 2021

Table of Contents

Have you read our old post about ‘ Font Pairing Tips and Tricks for Dummies ’? If not, we highly recommend you take a quick look at that typography article. Why is it so? Fonts have as big an influence on design manner as visuals.

Beautiful presentation visuals can all be undermined by poorly chosen typefaces. Hence, you must use a font that follows the rest of your design style, the personality, and the right voice you’re trying to convey.

That insight will help you determine the ideal font before creating your presentation design project using these 20 best fonts for Professional PowerPoint. Good luck!

Best fonts for professional PowerPoint

There are four types of fonts to analyze when looking to choose the best fonts for professional PowerPoint. Shortly, we merged Script and Decorative fonts.

Serif fonts

Serif fonts are traditional ones. They are known for their extra tail (or “feet”) at the end of each letter. Popular Serifs are Times New Roman, Century, Bookman, Lucida, Garamond, and more.

Sans Serif fonts

Sans Serif fonts are those without the tail. The word “Sans” is French for without, and Serif refers to the extra tails. They include Arial, Calibri, Helvetica, Verdana, Lucida Sans, Tahoma, and Century Gothic.

Script and decorative fonts

These fonts try to follow handwriting and are mostly reserved for special presentations. Here, you will see the 20 best fonts for professional PowerPoint you can use for your presentations.

What are the best fonts for professional PowerPoint? Let’s have a look at some of the most popular ones!

Using the best fonts for professional PowerPoint is favored for obvious reasons.

It is the ideal choice when looking for a universal, readable Sans Serif PowerPoint font.

Helvetica font family is in its neutral, a font that can blend into any style, like that of a chameleon but in the font world. 

If I could summarise Helvetica in one sentence, it would be: “Clarity with complete simplicity.” In presentations, Helvetica is powerful and can add real impact, but it doesn’t take over the limelight.

Next, one of the oldest fonts created in the 16th century in France by Claude Garamond led the whole European typography.

This font family is worth choosing for companies not chasing trends and making the identity look refined and elegant.

Futura is a geometric sans-serif typeface created by Paul Renner and published in 1927.

This font is based on geometric shapes, especially the circle, similar in spirit to the Bauhaus design trends of the period.

Gill Sans was created by British graphic artist and sculptor Eric Gill.

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

Rockwell font was developed with Monotype Design Studio in 1934, which saw the return to the reputation of slab serif fonts. Rockwell’s strong and friendly characters make this font particularly adaptable.

This font is ready in nine different variations: italics, different weights, and condensed font versions.

Verdana is one of the easy choices of the best fonts for professional PowerPoint. It is a more recent font crafted in 1996 by Mathew Carter for Microsoft, so you know it is optimized for the screen.

Its symbols include wide spaces and counters with tall lower-case letters that increase readability.

In fact, you can use a font like Fira Sans as both your header and body font, with different fonts in the mix to create only an accent font.

While this font is suitable in both normal and bold weights for most of the slide content, we see a nice serif launched as well to balance the single presentation font.

Hermann Zapf created Palatino back in 1949 based on type styles starting from the Italian Renaissance era.

Hermann also intended to keep the font readable on low-quality paper and small-sized prints, including when viewed at a distance, making it the perfect fonts for professional PowerPoint presentation.

Tahoma provides separable characters from each other and looks more like Verdana, albeit tightly spaced for a more formal appearance.

Tahoma fonts arrived with Windows 95 and have since been used in professional PowerPoint presentations for their uniqueness, clarity, and readability.

Georgia is highly appreciated for its beauty and blends thick and thin strokes to give well-spaced Serif characters.

Georgia is the most similar font to Times New Roman, albeit bigger, making it ideal for presentations.

This font was produced with one purpose in mind, and that’s to give clean text without confusion on the screen. It was created particularly for LCD monitors, so you know it’s optimized for any presentation project. 

The font is neat and clean, making it a reasonable choice for any professional PowerPoint presentation that calls for large contrast. Also, its spacing allows for readability at a distance.

The Segoe family of fonts is one of the best fonts for professional PowerPoint presentations. 

Segoe is pretty similar to Verdana and maintains a warm, inviting look, and that’s still spacious and precise on screens.

Century Gothic

Century Gothic is a sans-serif typeface with a geometrical style. Monotype Imaging published it in 1991, created to fight with the ever-famous Futura. Its style is very similar to the rival but with a larger x-height.

Importantly, this font is useful in advertising, such as headlines, display work, and small quantities of text.

We’ve all seen a million and two presentations using conventional fonts like Arial and Times New Roman.

Plus, Lato’s variety of weights is ready – from thin to light to bold, which helps to increase this font’s overall interest.

Roboto is one of the other great fonts for professional PowerPoint presentations. This font is yet another basic sans-serif font that works beyond many industries and types of presentations.

This font style is the perfect font to use for body text. The main body paragraphs are easy to read with this font in professional nuance and well designed.

Montserrat is our favorite font for us here at RRGraph Design.

Besides, this font will let them know what to expect each time you move to a new slide. However, it’s one of the top font selections you can apply for the headings on your professional PowerPoint presentation.

We commonly use Open Sans fonts for professional PowerPoint presentation , especially for body paragraphs due to their legibility.

However, we shouldn’t cut Open Sans like only a paragraph typeface. You can also use it in professional PowerPoint presentations to help your headings stand out sharply.

Libre-Baskerville

Libre-Baskerville is a serif font style with several other fonts and color schemes to create a more traditional look and feel for your slides. 

However, you also can use this font in body paragraphs easily, as it’s clear, legible, and readable.

It has developed in reputation and become something like the “Helvetica of the free fonts.” The family has four new members – Thin, Light, Book, and Regular – added by Fontfabric Type Foundry.

The new weights stay true to the style and grace of Bebas with the familiar clean lines, elegant shapes, a blend of technical straightforwardness, and simple warmth, which make it consistently proper for web, print, commerce, and art.

Are you choosing a font for headings or body text?

The first thing to think about is where you choose a font for headings or body text – does it need to be clearly understandable in longer paragraphs and smaller sizes? Or can you afford to go bigger? Are you looking for a bigger, more impactful slide title?

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

Serif or Sans Serif?

Serif fonts have tiny ticks or ‘wings’ at the end of their lines. Usually, they correlate with strictness, business-like, intellectual content. On the other hand, sans-serif fonts – have no marks on the ends of their lines, and we usually see them as modern, smooth, and clean.

The general sense is that serif fonts are better for print and body text, as the serifs lead the eye from one character to the next, like joined handwriting. Instead, sans serif fonts are better for titles and text displayed on a screen. But these are not complex and fast precepts!

The popular opinion is to pick one of each; possibly titles will be sans serif, and body text will be serif, but it’s up to you. You can determine what feels suitable for your brand. Do you want to appeal to tradition, create an intelligent vibe with a serif font, or want your text to feel fresh, speaking of technology, and progress with a sans serif choice? This leads to your final consideration.

What about custom fonts.

Sometimes what we want is not the ordinary, the comforting, the Arial, and the Times New Roman; sometimes, we want something diverse. This is your opportunity to reach the almost endless world of the best fonts for professional PowerPoint presentations. Here, you can find fonts to fit nearly any reasonable necessity. There will be a custom font for you, from timeless, elegant, crisp, and futuristic to embellished scripts and decorative innovations.

But a word of caution on non-system fonts – custom fonts can be a convincing and attractive component of your presentation design. Still, if misused, they can also be its destruction.

A custom font will only appear in your presentation if played on a device by installing the fonts first. PowerPoint will replace your beautiful and carefully planned custom font with one system default on any other device. This can have destructive outcomes for your presentation design.

If you present your presentation exclusively from the same device, you shouldn’t have a puzzle. Still, suppose many devices or operating systems are available or intend to share your presentation with others to ensure your fonts survive the jump. In that case, it is safer to stay in the system’s default fonts. So, you can be confident now. Your carefully crafted designs will remain as you conceived them, and you can focus on delivering the very best professional PowerPoint presentation.

10 Best fonts to use in your next PowerPoint presentation

• Written by: Elly Hughes
• Categories: PowerPoint design
• Comments: 15

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.

‘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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tell your story with captivating presentations

Powerpoint empowers you to develop well-designed content across all your devices

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 !
