What Are the Best Fonts to Use in PowerPoint PPT Presentations? (Complete 2021 Guide)

Posted: 25 Dec 2020 04:55 AM PST

If you're giving a PowerPoint presentation, you've got many design decisions to make. One of those decisions is choosing the best fonts for PowerPoint presentations. Typography sets the tone for your presentation and is instrumental in presenting your content.

Good font for PowerPoint presentation
The best fonts for PowerPoint will match the style of your content and draw the viewer's eye to the most essential parts of the slide.

If you're wondering, "what is the best font for PowerPoint presentations?" we'll answer that question in this tutorial.

We'll discuss the best font size and type for PowerPoint presentations. Learn how you can use them to your advantage. You might be surprised how many PowerPoint font options exist. 

Also, we'll share some PowerPoint templates that make good use of the best fonts for presentations and typography.

The Essentials of Font Selection

With so many PowerPoint font choices, it might be challenging to choose the best font for PowerPoint presentations. In this section, I'll share tips that help you match your choice of font, PowerPoint template, and content seamlessly.

1. Understand the Types of Fonts

When you're choosing the best font for PowerPoint presentations, it helps to understand the basic types of fonts that you can choose from. In this section, we'll discuss popular font styles: serif, sans-serif, script, and decorative.

First, let's cover serif fonts. Serif fonts, PowerPoint presentation or not, have a more classic feel to them. You'll notice serif fonts thanks to the brush strokes on the edges of the letters, sometimes called "feet."  These edge strokes are called the serifs. The popular system-installed serif fonts include Garamond, Georgia, and Times New Roman. They can definitely serve as some of the best fonts for presentations.

Adallyn serif font for PowerPoint
Serif fonts like Adallyn might be the most professional font for PowerPoint presentations in traditional fields.

In 2021, the category of best font for PowerPoint presentations goes to sans-serif fonts. These are the modern and smooth typefaces that you'll find in most presentations. Sans means "without," so it's only natural that these fonts lack the edge strokes. The result is smooth, rounded fonts that are popular in modern design.

These two simple categories are useful to describe most fonts. But other choices might be the best font for your PowerPoint presentation. Script and decorative fonts are unique options that are sometimes right for special purpose presentations. 

Bold ink font choice
Hand-painted fonts like Bold Ink aren't the best PPT font every occasion, but they certainly have their place in creative slide decks.

Ultimately, choosing the best font for presentations comes down to the style and content in the presentation. Design is about combining many elements—color, typography, layout, and more—that work together to present your content.

What is the best font for PowerPoint presentations? The answer is, "it depends." As always, let the content drive your design decisions.

Formal presentations in ideal environments should opt for serif options. But most presentations should typically use sans-serif fonts.

2. Choose Font Sizes for Your PowerPoint Presentation

For the best use of PowerPoint fonts, it's crucial to consider your choice of font size. Many PowerPoint users will ask, "what is a good font size for PowerPoint presentations?" In reality, you should vary your font size based on the content that you're presenting. Headlines should always be larger than the supporting points, for example.

My rule of thumb for PowerPoint fonts is to use a size 32 or larger for headlines, with 24 or larger for supporting points. Go much smaller than that, and you're entering "only readable for print outs" territory. 

Font size goes hand-in-hand with the principle of "less is more" on your PowerPoint slides. When you don't have to cram tons of content onto your slide, you can use larger font sizes. Remember: your PowerPoint presentation should support you, not speak for you.

3. Use Font Pairings

Many graphic designers use more than one font when building PowerPoint presentations. Using more than a few fonts is over the top but combining two complementary font choices is a pro design move. This practice is an art called font pairing.

One idea for a font pairing is to use a sophisticated serif font for headlines and titles, with sans-serif fonts for the majority of the body points. That balance creates visual interest and emphasis to your headline points.

Font pairings - Google Fonts
Google Fonts is not only a tool to choose good fonts for presentations, but it also offers font pairing suggestions.

If you use a free font resource like Google Fonts, you'll see pairing suggestions that help you combine fonts that work together well. The key to font pairing is to use the alternate font choices consistently. For example, always reserve headlines for one font in your selection.

5. Select Color and Contrast in Your Font for PowerPoint

Beyond size, style, and pairings, one element of font choice that you can't avoid is color and contrast. You can choose the perfect font and format it correctly but clashing color schemes disrupt slides.

Keep three essential tips in mind when considering font color and contrast:

  • Create contrast. Contrast is important so that your text stands out on the slide and is easy to read. Don't use a dark grey font on a black background, for example. Ensuring proper contrast will make the important content stand out.
  • Consider accessibility. Colorblindness is surprisingly common. It's likely that a member of your audience has some form of it and will experience your slides differently. Make sure to choose color schemes that don't interfere with their experience.
  • Use colors that fit the scheme. Make sure that you consistently use font colors that are part of your branding guide. Use the color swatches to ensure no variation from one slide to the next.

Check out the tutorial below to make sure that your presentation is accessible to those who may be visually impaired, including color blindness:

6. Use Creative Text Effects

So far, we've covered font choice, including style, size, and pairings. Once you've got text on your slide, you might be wondering about creative effects that you can use to make your points boldly.

PowerPoint has plenty of effects to ensure that your text doesn't go unnoticed. Effects like animation, drop shadows, and reflection should be reserved for a few specialized uses in your presentation. 

The tutorial below is a complete guide to working with text in PowerPoint. Check it out to learn more about adding text as well as advanced effects to make the most of your content:

7. Understand the Power of Custom Fonts

Sure, every device includes standard fonts to choose from. But when you want to really set your slides apart, consider filling them with custom PowerPoint fonts that your audience may have never seen. 

In the selections above, I've shared screenshots with custom fonts from Envato Elements. With a single subscription to Elements, you unlock thousands of custom PowerPoint fonts that you can use in your next design.

Custom fonts Envato Elements
Envato Elements includes access to custom fonts that you can use when designing your next PowerPoint presentation.

Elements includes access to fonts across all the categories that we highlighted above. Particularly for script and decorative fonts, Elements' library has PowerPoint font options that are hard to find.

4. Visby CF

7. Playfair Display

Give any presentation a sophisticated and elegant look by using Playfair Display for the headings or quote slides.

8. CA Texteron

CA Texteron

The CA Texteron font is a modern serif font with high legibility. Use it for both headings and body text for your presentation. 

9. Lato

10. Arthura

Arthura

The Arthura font is a premium sans-serif font with a humanist warmth and simple geometric forms. It works great for body text for your presentations.

Templates Featuring the Best Fonts for PowerPoint Presentations

If you need help choosing a font for your next PowerPoint presentation, my top recommendation is to use a template that already has the fonts selected. If you can cut the hard work of choosing a font, you can re-focus on presentation content.

Remember Envato Elements? The same subscription that unlocks custom fonts also gives you access to thousands of custom PowerPoint templates with the best fonts for presentations already built-in.

The Best templates with the best PowerPoint choices
On Envato Elements, you can use templates that already have the best font for PowerPoint presentations selected.

When you use custom PowerPoint templates, you outsource the work of choosing the best font for PowerPoint presentations to talented graphic designers. They've already laid out and built slides that feature good font choices for presentations. Just fill them in with your content, and you'll be finished in no time.

In this section, you'll see templates with the best font for PowerPoint presentations. All these selections are included with a subscription to Elements, the creative service you saw above. 

1. Agio PowerPoint Presentation

Agio PowerPoint Presentation

Agio uses the smooth sans-serif font choices that dominate the most popular modern PowerPoint presentations. You'll also have access to nine color schemes, each of which is already set up with color-coordinated text. It's an example of using fonts that highlight the content, so keep Agio in mind as a template with good fonts for presentations PowerPoint.

2. Fashioned Stylist PowerPoint

Fashioned stylist PowerPoint

The Fashioned presentation template also uses popular sans-serif choices. But it also uses variations on typography for an impact.

Notice that many of these slides in the preview use all-caps strings of text to add emphasis to slides. It's a great example of using text effects to enhance slides with bold design.

3. Brutto Real Estate PowerPoint Template

Brutto Real Estate

With a major focus on serif fonts, it's no wonder why this template is an ideal fit for the traditional world of real estate. Serif fonts have a classic feel to them, and this template illustrates that perfectly.

This template also features many infographic and business-centric slides. They're perfect for showcasing your business concept. 

4. Brusher PowerPoint Template

The starkly contrasting black and white color scheme is an excellent example of font contrast. Use Brusher to build a presentation with balanced typography in no time.

If the Envato Elements library doesn't include the right template for you, don't miss out on GraphicRiver. This library also has great templates with the best font for presentations already built in. The main difference is that you buy GraphicRiver templates individually for one-time use.

How to Quickly Customize Fonts In a Premium PowerPoint Template

Choosing the best font for a PowerPoint presentation is just one part of designing your next slide deck. Here are some basic steps to take once you've chosen your fonts:

How To Choose The Best eCommerce Platform For Your Needs

There are thousands of eCommerce website templates available in our marketplaces. But before we jump into that, it's important that you know how to choose the best eCommerce platform for your business. 

how to choose eCommerce platforms
You should learn how to choose the best eCommerce platform for your online store

Let's talk about the most popular eCommerce platforms and their main features:

1. Shopify

Shopify is powering more than one million online stores worldwide, which makes it one of the most popular eCommerce options. Contrary to WordPress, Shopify is a self-hosted solution (with a monthly fee).

This means you don't have to worry about finding a web host and then adding Shopify. If you have little technical skills, or if you're setting up your first online store, Shopify is the easiest to use platform.  

2. WooCommerce

WooCommerce has become a crowd-favorite eCommerce option. This is a free plugin for WordPress, which means you need a WordPress website (and pay a hosting fee), install the WooCommerce plugin, and then create your online store. 

But, if you already have an existing WordPress website, setting up WooCommerce is an easy process. Hence the reason of its popularity. WooCommerce is a good option because it gives you a nice mix of custom flexibility and user friendliness.

3. Magento

Magento is the most used eCommerce platform in the world, powering 20% of all online stores worldwide. That's a lot.

Magento is also the eCommerce platform preferred by developers, because is open source and it's the most expandable and flexible. 

This is the best option for big companies and global brands because they can pay the high annual fees, and take advantage of the powerful features of this professional eCommerce platform. 

4. OpenCart

OpenCart is an entirely free, open source eCommerce platform. It's free to download, you find your own hosting and upgrade without any payments.

OpenCart is a good online store builder if you're looking to keep your costs low and still have customization options. However, the trick here is that you require coding knowledge.

5. PrestaShop

Created in 2008, PrestaShop is an open source eCommerce platform. What's different about this option is its freemium model. 

PrestaShop has a marketplace where users buy add-ons for their stores. The eCommerce platform has grown over the years and is currently used by 300,000 online stores worldwide.

9 Quick Tips on Best eCommerce Practices

When building an eCommerce website, it's important to follow best practices to ensure your online store will be a successful venture. Here are some of the tips to follow to get you started on the right path.

1. Include a FAQ Section

No matter how simple your store is or how clear your copy, there will always be customer questions that arise over and over again. Make sure to take note of these questions and include them on a page or a section in your store, then add it into your main navigation.

2. Add a Live Chat Widget

A Live Chat option can help turn reluctant visitors into guaranteed buyers by helping them make a decision and answer their immediate questions.

3. Clearly Label Your Sale Section

Recent studies have shown that a large portion of online shoppers are looking for a separate section of products on sale. Give yourself a head start and group all your on-sale products together in one section which is easily to find on your homepage.

4. Include a Search Box

Make it easy for your visitors to find what they are looking for. If you can incorporate autocomplete suggestions in your search bar like in the case of Warehouse, or a give them the ability to search not only by category but by product name, SKU, description, or price like in Market, even better.

5. Use Customer Browsing History for Personalization

Creating a personalized customer experience is extremely important in eCommerce. Metrics such as location, traffic sources, what customers bought, and what pages they viewed can greatly improve your customer service, foster loyalty, and improve sales.

6. Add Big and Beautiful Images

Images are a big part of eCommerce. Make sure your template has the ability to show big product images, display product galleries, and consider giving them the option to zoom in or view your product in a 360-degree view like in the Ultimo or Fastor eCommerce website templates.

7. Insert Clear and Compelling Call to Actions

Your product images are just one part of a bigger puzzle. Great calls to action are the other part. Make sure each product is accompanied by a call-to-action that clearly states what the user should do next.

8. Incorporate Customer Reviews

It's basic human nature to see what others are saying about a product before we make a purchasing decision. If you have customer reviews, don't be afraid to show them. However, they don't have to be displayed front and center. You can safely place them lower on your product pages to leave enough space for a product description and your call to action.

9. Have a Clear Shipping and Return Policy

Your customers like to know all the details before making the final decision about purchasing, this includes your shipping and return policy. Don't leave them in the dark. Have a section on your website that clearly outlines your shipping and return policies as well as your contact and customer support information. Give them confidence to purchase from you.

5 eCommerce Design Trends For 2021

1. Accessibility 

Not only is it the right thing to do, but more and more, we're seeing a move towards people designing with accessibility in mind. By following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, you'll make your website as easy as possible for people with disabilities to access it. This will include ensuring you use bold contrasting colors to make text as easy as possible to read for people who are hard of sight (amongst many other things).

Take a look at our  Web Accessibility: the Complete Learning Guide or dig into the following recommended article to see why accessibility matters:

2. Minimalism 

This trend has been around for some time, but it shows no sign of disappearing. Especially within the context of eCommerce, the best retail WordPress themes will ensure users can find relevant content quickly and easily. Selecting a simple theme with minimal distractions can often be a sensible way to go. 

3. Bold Colors and Fonts 

Bright color schemes against minimal design are predicted to be the go-to for web design in 2020. Many of the best eCommerce templates provide the option to adapt color schemes and font sizes so your site can evolve with the trends!

4. Motion Design 

Many of the eCommerce templates outlined include the option to add video—a handy feature as motion design is predicted to continue to make waves into 2020. Whether it's adding GIFs to your website or incorporating a video into the header of your website, they can help to bring your products to life. 

5. Split Screen Content

This couldn't be more useful for eCommerce websites as it enables you to give equal weighting to two product types. Predicted to be a force to be reckoned with in 2020, if you want to feature both men's and women's products on your homepage for example, you could pick an eCommerce template that follows this developing trend.

36 Old Style Fonts (Old Style Typefaces to Download Now)

Posted: 24 Dec 2020 11:00 PM PST

Old style typefaces can be a timeless, classy addition to any font library. But what is the old style serif typeface classification, and why do modern fonts still take influence from it? In this article, we'll discuss what old style serif fonts are and check out a list of beautiful fonts that take influence from old style serif typefaces.

This beautifully designed serif typeface is available for download now on Envato Elements.

What Is the Old Style Serif Typeface Classification?

So what is the old style serif type classification—or what is a type classification at all? Think of it as a means of sorting type into different "types". For example, fonts are often broadly categorized as serifs or sans serifs, as a means of describing parts of their design.

If you're new to type classification, check out our free video course. It's a wonderful place to start for beginners, and a worthwhile refresher for experienced designers.

There's more to type classification than serifs vs. sans serifs. For example, there are many different classifications for serif typefaces. Old style is one of those classifications. As an example, let's compare two different serif type classifications: old style and Didone.

old style fonts
Garamond, an old style typeface, and Bodoni, a Didone typeface.

Both of these typefaces have serifs—the extended lines at the end of the font's stroke. However, they are each visually quite different. In the Didones, we see a straight serif. In the old style type, we see a more tapered serif that looks more like a wedge. Notice the difference in the strokes too. Old style lacks the stark contrast that we see in Didones. We'll often see more of a tilt in the type's axis, as well.

Old style serif fonts have a beautiful, timeless aesthetic that can work in a wide variety of design situations. Some popular old style fonts include Garamond, Goudy, Palatino, and Minion. Modern fonts often draw inspiration from old style typefaces (as well as the Transitionals, where you'd see fonts like Times New Roman). There's something very classy about serif type—it's not uncommon to see them in newspapers, magazines, and in the interior of your favorite book.

Let's take a look at some beautifully designed fonts that draw inspiration from old style typefaces. They may not all necessarily follow the old style aesthetic completely by the book, but that's the beauty of modern fonts. Many of them draw inspiration from several aesthetics.
