Great graphic design is powered by great font selection. But picking great fonts is a challenge most people. Luckily, Canva has made adding great fonts to your designs much easier. In this tutorial, our team of design experts will cover the best presentation fonts in Canva.
What Are Presentation Fonts?
Fonts for presentations should be chosen carefully as they play an important role in conveying the message effectively. Some of the characteristics of fonts for presentations are:
- Readability: The font used should be easy to read and understand, even from a distance. This means that the font should have clear, well-defined shapes and letters that are not too small or too complex.
- Contrast: The contrast between the font and the background should be appropriate to make the text stand out. This can be achieved by choosing a font with a bold weight or by using a light-colored font on a dark background, or vice versa.
- Consistency: The font used throughout the presentation should be consistent to maintain visual harmony and avoid distractions. This means that the font used in the headings, subheadings, and body text should be the same.
- Legibility: The font used should be legible, even when projected on a large screen. This means that the font should have clear and well-defined shapes and letters that are easily recognizable.
- Alignment: The text should be aligned properly to create a clean and organized look. This means that the text should be aligned to the left or right margin, or centered, depending on the design of the slide.
- Appropriateness: The font used should be appropriate for the topic and the audience. For example, a playful font may be appropriate for a presentation on children’s toys, but not for a professional business presentation.
- Simplicity: The font used should be simple and uncluttered to avoid distractions and maintain focus on the message. This means that the font should not have too many decorative elements or be too complex.
