So where can you find cutting-edge fonts that won’t break the bank? Problem is, many custom fonts cost money. So please don’t get flagged by HR for violating their typographical tenets.īut if you can afford some wiggle room, it’s time start looking for something with a little more…pizzazz. I also understand that many companies’ branding guidelines extend to internal presentations. Many of these are suitable for an internal business presentation (Franklin Gothic and Segoe are safe classics). Now, today’s PowerPoint comes with a decent array of font choices. Today is your chance to breathe life into your slides and dazzle your audience. There is a universe of personality-filled typefaces just waiting in the wings to take your slides to the next level. If this isn’t something you’ve thought about already, don’t sweat it. The Chewy to your Han (depending on your perspective).

They act as the trusty sidekick of you, the superhero. It’s my belief that the most memorable presentations have a personality and soul. But not tailoring it to your tone makes it more like that annoying lonely guy at a bar who sidles up to your crew and ends up driving away the ladies. Your PowerPoint is supposed to be your best wingman. You are also in EVERYONE ELSE’S PRESENTATIONS.

In every new PowerPoint deck I open, there you are.
