Handwriting-style fonts such as Mistral and Viner Hand – while fun in some situations – can make your slides look unprofessional as well as being virtually impossible to read from a distance. When it comes to many PowerPoint presentations functional is more important than fancy, and some of the most standard-looking fonts are also the best at making your slides look clean and professional.Īn added bonus is that standard fonts are installed on most computers, so there’s no risk of your presentation not displaying correctly on other machines.
The first mistake a lot of people make when choosing their PowerPoint font is looking for something ‘cool’, and many users are quick to write off fonts like Arial for being boring. And not just from an aesthetic perspective. Typography is an integral part of design, and it plays a big role in the effectiveness of your PowerPoint presentations. Using the right Powerpoint font can have a positive impact on your audience’s understanding of your message, and their reaction to it.
