Choosing the best font for your presentation can mean the difference between an engaged audience and one that’s confused or distracted. A presentation font needs to be legible, agreeable, and not interfere with the content itself.

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.

How to Add Fonts to Google Slides? [Step-by-Step Guide!]

By: Author Shrot Katewa

Using Google Slides comes with its own benefits. One of the benefits is that you get to use the most modern fonts provided by Google (through Google Fonts) like Montserrat, Lato, and many others directly in your Google Slides presentation.

By default, you get about 26 different font options within Google Slides. But, what if you want to add more fonts to Google Slides? How do you do that?

To add fonts to Google Slides, select a text box and click on the “Fonts” option in the toolbar. Then, from the dropdown, click on “More Fonts”. Search for the font using the search bar or scroll through the list and choose a font. Click on it to select it and click on “OK”.

In this article, we will understand the process of adding fonts in Google Slides in further detail! Plus, we shall also take a look at whether we can install custom fonts in Google Slides!

So, without further adieu, let’s get started!

1. How to Change Fonts in Google Slides?

In Google Slides, you can easily add text to your slides . You can also change the way your text looks by adding text effects to the text in Google Slides .

But, what if you want to change the font itself? Well, there is a way to do that as well!

All you have to do is follow the 2 quick steps mentioned below –

Step-1: Highlight the text

The first step of the process is to click on the text box and select the entire text.

Then click on the “Font” box from the toolbar located at the top of the screen right below the menu bar. This will open a dropdown menu containing numerous font style options.

Step-2: Select your preferred font

Scroll down the dropdown menu within the “Font” box to find your preferred font style. Now all you have to do is click on the new font style and it will be automatically saved.

2. How to Add More Fonts to Google Slides?

Google Slides has a variety of font styles to match any slide design. The application also offers an additional collection of fonts that you can use in a text box.

You can get these fonts either through the “More Fonts” option or an external source like the Extensis Fonts through “Add-ons” .

2a. Method 1 – Using the “More Fonts'” option

To add more fonts to Google Slides with the help of its “More Fonts” option, all you have to do is follow the 2 easy steps below.

Step-1: Click on “More fonts”

At first, you have to select the text in a text box to access the font style editing tools.

Click on the “Font” box in the toolbar to open a dropdown menu and click on the “More fonts” option. This will open a dialogue box containing additional fonts.

Step-2: Search for a font

In the “Fonts” dialogue box, scroll through the font styles to find your preferred one.

You can also use the “Search box” to find a specific font. Besides, you can click on the “Scripts” button and select a specific language for the font styles. 

The “Show” button allows you to filter only selected styles of font and the “Sort” button helps you to access the most popular or the latest font styles easily.

Step-3: Select your preferred font

After clicking on your preferred font, all you have to do is click on the “OK” button located at the bottom left corner of the “Fonts” dialogue box.

Step-4: Verify that the font has been added

Now, once again select the text and click on the more fonts option. You will notice that the font that you recently added is now visible from the list of fonts available in the dropdown.

Remember! Fonts visible under the “More Fonts” option are Google Fonts. You can also check out Google Fonts for more options and font pairings, and add a specific Google Font using the search function under the “More Fonts” option in Google Slides! You get about 1284 font options in Google Fonts currently!

2b. Method 2 – Using Extensis Fonts Add-on in Google Slides

If you are migrating from Microsoft Office, or if you simply like the feeling of having “near-unlimited” font options in your presentation application, you should be using the “Extensis Fonts” add-on!

The Extensis Fonts add-on provides a ton of different options and font styles that you can choose from! The best part is – just like Google Fonts, it is completely editable and free!

Step-1: Click on “Get add-ons”

The first step is to click on the “Add-ons” button in the menu bar located at the top of the screen. In the “Add-ons” dropdown menu, click on the “Get add-ons” option. This will prompt a pop-up window.

Step-2: Search for “Extensis Fonts”

In the “Google Workspace Marketplace” window prompted by the “Get add-ons” option, click on the search bar. Then type in “Extensis Fonts” to find the specific add-on.

Now you have to click on the “Extensis Fonts” add-on to access it.

Step-3: Click on the “Install” button

After that, click on the “Install” button on the right side of your screen and then select the “Continue” option from the prompted dialogue box. This will start the installation.

Step-4: Sign in to the Extensis Font add-on

After the Extensis Fonts add-on is installed, it will open a new browser window.

You can use your google account to sign in to the add-on. Once you have completed signing in, click on the “Allow” button to allow Extensis Fonts access to Google Slides.

Step-5: Click on the “Next” button

After finalizing the installation process, you will see another dialogue box prompted by Extensis Fonts. Click on the “Next” option located at the bottom right corner to continue.

Then click on the “Done” button to return to Google Slides.

Step-6: Click on the “Start” option

Once you are done with the installation process, you can access the Extensis Fonts add-on in Google Slides.

All you have to do is click on the “Add-ons” option in the menu bar. Then hover the cursor over the “Extensis Fonts” option to access the “Start” option beside “Extensis Fonts” . Click on the “Start” option.

This will open an “Extensis Fonts” sidebar with multiple font styles. You can click on any of the font styles to select it.

Step-7: Choose a font using the “Extensis Fonts” add-on

To choose a font, first select the text where you want to change the font.

Then, from the “Extensis Fonts” panel on the right, you can either scroll down and look for a font that you like or use the “Show” and “Sort” filter to search for a font quickly.

Unfortunately, this add-on doesn’t provide a search function so you will have to scroll through the fonts manually from the list.

Once you like a particular font, simply click on it and the font will be applied to the select text! Now, you can change the font size, and apply other font styles just as you would to any default font in Google Slides!

3. Can You Add Custom Fonts in Google Slides?

A custom font is usually designed or purchased by the user.

Currently, Google Slides does not allow you to add, upload, or embed custom fonts in your presentation. However, you can choose any Google Font from over one thousand options provided from the “More Fonts” option in Google Slides.

This is because Google Slides is a web-based application and uploading fonts on a presentation using your account doesn’t guarantee the visibility of the text in that font when someone else accesses this presentation.

Although this problem can be fixed easily if Google uses its might, currently there seems to be no option for this.

That said, there is a partial workaround to this problem! You can use font sites such as Font Squirrel to add a custom font, especially for heading text.

Here’s how to use custom fonts in Google Slides –

Step-1: Go to a third-party font site

You can open a third-party site like Font Squirrel in your web browser. I would recommend using a chrome browser to follow this tutorial although you can still implement this on other browsers as well. Just that the steps might be a bit different.

Once you are on the font website, simply browse through and choose a font that you like.

Then, simply click on the font. It will open on a new page.

Step-2: Open the “Test Drive” option

Next, when the page for the font that you chose opens up, click on the “ Test Drive ” tab from the options provided on the top.

Step-3: Add the custom heading

Next, simply type in the custom text or the text that you want using a custom font on your Google Slides presentation.

Feel free to adjust the font size. As you type the text, you can see the preview of the way the text will look using this font. The preview is visible in the section below.

Step-4: Copy the “Preview” image

Simply right-click on the preview that appears on the page, and select the “ Copy Image ” option.

Step-5: Paste the Image in Google Slides

The last step of the process requires you to paste the preview image that you just copied on the slide in your presentation.

You can use the “ Ctrl+V ” option to paste the image or simply right-click on the slide and select “ Paste ” from the options.

The only drawback with font squirrel is that you don’t get too many customization options for the text. For instance, you can’t get a white font on the slide using font squirrel.

To overcome that issue you can use other third-party font sites such as Font Meme as they provide several different customization options before you copy the text to paste it on your slides!

For instance, you can apply custom font effects, change color, or the font size even before you generate the preview.

Do keep in mind that not all fonts on font meme are free. So, you will have to be a bit selective about your options.

Once you are done with the customizations, simply right-click on the preview, copy the image, and paste it on your slide as described in the steps above.

4. How to Change Fonts on All Slides in Google Slides?

Google Slides allows you to change the design and theme of the entire presentation at once through the “Theme builder” option. You can change the fonts on all the slides in a presentation by following the 4 easy steps.

Step-1: Click on the “Theme builder” option

In the menu bar located at the top of the screen, click on the “View” button and select the “Theme builder” option from the dropdown menu. This will open the slide master view.

Step-2: Open the master slide

In the slide master view, click on the master slide from the slide layout pane on the left side of the screen. The master slide is located right under the “THEME” option.

Step-3: Click on the “Font” box

Now all you have to do is select the text placeholder in the master slide and click on the “Font” box in the toolbar.

This will prompt a dropdown menu containing various fonts. Click on your preferred font to change the font style of the text placeholder.

Step-4: Close the “Theme builder”

The last step is to close the “Theme builder” or the slide master view to save the changes to the font. To do so, click on the “X” button located at the top and right corner of the slide master view.

You can also use a font to show the audience a certain mood or feeling. And a font can make your presentation look more professional. When you add fonts to Google Slides, you expand your options.

If you've got a brand and use the same font for all your marketing materials, using that font in your presentation will remind readers of your brand. Learning how to import fonts into Google Slides helps you carry your brand through your marketing.

Now, we'll learn about adding fonts to Google Slides. It's a powerful way to make your slide decks more stylish and creative - fast. When you learn how to add fonts to Google Slides, you’ll impress every audience.

How to Change Fonts in Google Slides

Fonts can set the mood of your text. They can also draw the audience’s attention to specific text. Fonts are important. So, if you want to add more fonts to Google Slides, follow these steps.

In this tutorial, we'll look at four ways to change fonts:

• Change the font type.
• Add more Google fonts.
• Add more fonts with add-ons.
• Change font size and color.

In this tutorial, I’m using the Layout Google Slides template from Envato Elements. It works perfectly with our steps of how to import fonts into Google slides.

This is a multi-purpose template that comes with 40 unique custom slides. I'll be editing slide 2. Here's what slide 2 looks like before changes. It's a great design that's made better after you learn how to add fonts to Google Slides.

Let's get started learning how to upload fonts to Google Slides:

Change the Font Type

You can easily change the fonts used in Google Slides from the menus. Follow these steps:

1. Highlight the Text

If you don’t like the current font on your Googles Slides, you can easily change it. Start by highlighting the text you want to change.

Next, click on the Font box in the toolbar (it's to the right of the border icon). When you click on this box, a menu drops down.

2. Select the Font

From the drop-down menu that appears, click on the font you want.

Some fonts also have a submenu that let you choose the font's weight. Depending on the font you chose, this means that you can select versions of your font such as thin, light, normal, bold, and more.

Add More Google Fonts

Some fonts come with Google Slides, but you can install more fonts from Google. Here’s how to install fonts to Google Slides :

1. Click on More Fonts

Start by highlighting the text that you want to change. Next, click on the Font box that the current font is in. This box is in the toolbar to the right of the border icon.

When you click on the arrow in the Font box, a drop-down menu appears. There's a More Fonts option at the top of the drop-down menu. This is how you can add fonts to Google Slides.

Click on the More Fonts option. The Font Explorer window appears with more Google fonts. Choose the fonts you want to upload to Google Slides. 

2. Search for Fonts

You can also search for fonts in the Font Explorer window you opened in step 1 of this section. The search bar is at the top of the window.

 To search for a specific font, type the name in the search bar. Next to the search bar, there are three fields that'll filter the fonts when you search:

• Scripts . This field is where you can select what language you want the font to be.
• Show . Lists the different types of fonts.
• Sort . Shows the order the fonts will appear.

Once you've set up your filters, you'll see a list of fonts that meet the criteria.

3. Choose Your Font

Once you select the font that you want, it'll be added to the My Fonts section of the window. After you click OK , the tool uploads the font to Google Slides .

Next, you want to ensure that you uploaded the font to Google Slides . So, click on the arrow in the Font box in the toolbar. A menu drops down. You should see the font you uploaded in the drop-down menu.

Add More Fonts With Add-Ons

When you think of how to import fonts into Google Slides, you've got several options. But keep in mind - you can’t add fonts to Google Slides directly. While you may find amazing fonts around the web, there isn’t (as of 2023) a good way to import them.

But you can still add new fonts by using a Google Slides add-on. It’s how to add custom fonts to Google Slides that aren’t included by default. To do that, you’ll use Google Slides add-ons.

To find a font add-on for Google Slides, click on the Extensions tab on the menu. From the dropdown, choose Add-Ons > Get Add-Ons. Then, search for font extensions. One of the best is Extensis Fonts . Let’s find it and download it by clicking on Install . 

When you do, launch the Add-ons menu and open the add-on. You’ll see it launch as a sidebar on the right side of your Google Slides screen.

Now, you’ll see hundreds of fonts available for use! Click on any to start using it.

Change the Font Size and Color

After you’ve chosen a font that you want to use or have added the font to Google Slides, you'll want to change the size and color. Here’s how:

1. Change Your Font Size

Start by highlighting the text. Next, in the toolbar next to the Font box, you’ll see the Font Size box. This box has the current font size with a minus on one side and a plus on the other.

The minus button decreases the font size, and the plus button increases the font size. Click on the plus or minus button to change your font size.

2. Change Your Font Color

You’ll need to highlight the text you want to change for this step again. Then, click on the Format tab above the toolbar. A menu drops down.

From the drop-down menu, click on the Text option. When you click on the Text option, a submenu appears to the side. Click on the Color option.

Another menu appears to the side. This is the Color menu. Choose the color you want your font to be.

10 Tips for Choosing and Using Fonts

Since fonts are important, you want to add fonts to Google Slides that'll benefit your presentation. Let's look at some good examples of fonts to consider on slide four of the Layout Google Slides template.

1. Break Up Your Text

Many people put all of their text on a slide in a single text box. That means that all the text has the same spacing and font. But font and spacing that's the same throughout the slide doesn’t capture the reader's attention.

So instead, try breaking up your text into separate boxes. When you separate your text into separate boxes, you can also change certain fonts, sizes, and colors for some text without changing it for all the text. This means you can you color, spacing, and even size to emphasize points.

2. Match Your Brand

Consider your brand's font when choosing the font you want to add to Google Slides. Most brands have brand fonts, colors, etc. If you create an advertisement or want your presentation to match your company brand, consider your company brand font. 

If you follow the brand font and colors, people will recognize your PowerPoint as coming from your company.

3. Make Sure Your Text Is Readable

When choosing what font you'll use, your font must be read easily by the audience. If you're creating a presentation, choose a font that can be seen by people sitting in the back of the room.

Elaborate fonts in large blocks of text can cause the reader to strain and are harder to read. So, if you must use an elaborate text in your presentation, use it in small quantities.

4. Use Different Font Pairs

Using a bigger font for important text will draw your audience’s attention to that text. People’s eyes are naturally drawn to bigger text.

But you shouldn’t make all of your text large because then the important text won't stand out. So only use large font for the text that you want to stand out.

5. Create Contrast

When deciding on what color scheme you want for your slide, keep your font and slide background color in mind. You want your text to stand out.

For example, if you've got a black background and navy text your navy text won’t stand out against the black background. A better contrast would be white text on a black background.

6. Use Different Fonts

There are some fonts that complement each other.

For example, you can make the slide's title a script font and the body text a geometric font. This will create a nice balance that's pleasing to the audience.

It’s good to keep in mind that your fonts should complement each other and add interest. Also try a tall font paired with a short font.

7. Look at the Alignment

When you’re creating your presentation slide, consider the alignment of your text. Most designers use center-aligned text because it looks balanced and professional.

But if your text is aligned a different way, it could make your text to look sloppy. For example, if you align your text to the right, it looks like there isn't a starting or stopping point and looks confusing.

This subtle difference can make a big difference in how your presentation looks.

A good presentation rule is don't use large blocks of text on your slide. It overwhelms the reader.

Instead, use more images and visual elements to portray what you’re trying to say. Designing your presentation isn’t just about how the slide looks, but about how effectively you communicate your message.

9. Remember Your Message

Some fonts give a fun and whimsical impression, while others don’t. So, when choosing a font keep your presentation topic in mind.

If you’re discussing a serious subject, then you don’t want to use a fun and whimsical font for your presentation. If your font doesn’t match your message, it can look unprofessional and confuse the audience.

10. Limit Your Fonts

It can be fun to experiment with different types of fonts. But don’t use too many fonts in your presentation. In your presentation, it’s best to limit your fonts to two to three fonts. Using too many fonts can make your presentation look sloppy and unprofessional.

• BY Bogdan Sandu
• 27 May 2024

It’s not just about choosing any font; it’s about picking the right typography that complements your message, enhances readability, and ensures your presentation stands out.

We’ll explore accessing the font menu, incorporating custom fonts seamlessly, and managing your typography library effectively. Buckle up; we’re about to give your presentations a facelift that’ll captivate and impress.

How to Add Fonts to Google Slides: Quick Walkthrough

Here are the steps to add more fonts to Google Slides:

• Select the text you want to change the font for.
• Click the Font dropdown menu in the toolbar at the top.
• Choose “More fonts” at the bottom of the list.
• Use the Search box at the top to find a specific font

• When finished adding fonts, click “OK” at the bottom.
• The new fonts will now appear in the Font dropdown menu in Google Slides, ready to use.

Some key points:

• Google Slides has 26 default fonts, but you can add many more using this process.
• You cannot upload your own custom fonts directly to Google Slides.
• There are also some font add-ons like Extensis Fonts that provide additional fonts, but they are not always reliable.

So in summary, use the “More fonts” option in the Font dropdown to easily add new fonts to your Google Slides presentations. This gives you many more style options to make your text stand out.

Adding Fonts to Google Slides and Docs

How to access and add fonts.

Sometimes, the default text just doesn’t cut it.

Whether it’s a professional presentation in Google Slides or a document in Google Docs , sprucing up fonts can catch the eye of your audience and communicate your message with a tad more pizzazz.

Here’s the magic gateway: the font menu. A simple click unfolds a world of textual aesthetics.

Dive deeper by hitting “More Fonts” from the dropdown to wander through the extensive library that Google offers. Wondering where this menu hides? Just a quick look at the toolbar, and voila. You’re in.

Managing and Searching for Fonts

Imagine standing before a towering wall stacked with myriad fonts. Feel overwhelming? Thankfully, Google has made this easier.

Navigating this extensive selection can be breezy. Use the search bar or filter options to single out your desired style, or simply surf through categories like Serif, Sans-Serif, Display, or Handwriting.

Want to keep some favorites for quick access? Just add them to “My Fonts”—think of it as bookmarking nifty fonts that catch your eye. And if your tastes change? Removing them is just as effortless.

Applying Custom Fonts

Have a fancy custom font you’ve been dying to use? Uploading and applying it to your text boxes in Google Slides is seamless.

This not only customizes your slides but also ensures they stand out.

The catch is making sure they display consistently across different viewing devices.

Nothing spoils a great presentation like formatting discrepancies that pop up on different screens.

How to Add or Change Fonts in Google Slides

Some experts recommend that you include just the right amount of text in your presentations. Too much, and the audience will be reluctant to read it. Too little, and the audience will just refrain from looking at the screen. 

Let’s say you already have the right amount of text. In order to maximize your chances of success, you need to  choose a good font . Combining a nice readability with a nice visual hierarchy of all the components of your design will make an impression on everybody. They will be more than delighted at how your text looks. 

So, in this tutorial, you’ll learn to change the fonts in your presentation . You’ll also find out how to add new fonts in Google Slides. 

How to Change a Font in Google Slides

How to change the font color in google slides, how to change the font size in google slides, how to change all the fonts of the presentation, how to get and add more fonts in google slides.

• Open your presentation in Google Slides.
• Select one or more text boxes whose font you want to change. To select more than one, hold the Ctrl/Cmd key while clicking the text boxes.
• Go to the toolbar, click the Font drop-down arrow and choose the font that best suits your needs. You’ll see an arrow next to some fonts. If you hover over one of these arrows, a list with the different available styles for that font will be displayed.

If you’re familiar with text editors such as Microsoft Word, this will look familiar to you. To change the color of the font, do the following:

• Select the text box that contains the text whose color you want to modify, or either select just a part of the text.
• In the toolbar, locate the “Text color” option, which is next to the text styles option and click on it. 
• Now, select any of the colors listed. You can also use the color picker to pick any color present in the current slide. Additionally, there’s an option to enter the hex code of the color that you want. For the latter, click on the “+” sign under the “Custom” section.

Once again, if you’re familiar with programs such as Microsoft Word, changing the font size won’t be a secret to you. In any case, here’s how to do it:

• Select the text box containing the text whose font size you want to change, or either select part of it.
• In the toolbar, you’ll see a number next to the Font drop-down menu. That indicates the font size, measured in points. Click the number to either choose a font size from the list that appears, or type the size that you want.
• You can also click the plus or minus sign to increase or decrease, respectively, the font size one point at a time.
• You can change the font of all the texts in your presentation at once. This can be done from the master slides. 
• Access the master slides by clicking Slide → Edit master.
• Select the master slide (the first one). 
• Select one or more text boxes in this slide and change the font by selecting the one you want from the Font drop-down list. The top text box controls the slide titles. The lower text boxes control the rest of the text in your presentation. Once you’re done, all the text in your document will be updated accordingly. 
• Close the master slides by clicking the “X” button in the top-right corner of the editor and make sure the changes have been applied to the slides. It’s important that you click the “X” button to exit the slide master because, otherwise, there could be unexpected changes if you don’t do it this way.
• Select the text box where you want to use a new font.
• Go to the toolbar and click the Font drop-down arrow. If you can’t find the font that you want, click More fonts. A new window will open. 
• In this window, you’ll be able to manage the fonts used in your presentation and view the available fonts.
• Use the filters at the top to search a font by type of script, or try entering its name. You can sort the results by alphabetical order, date, trending or popularity. 
• To add a new font, just click its name. To remove a font, click the X next to its name under My fonts. Once you’re done, click OK.
• Please note that Google Slides only supports fonts from Google Fonts. This means you can’t add third-party fonts to your presentation.

The best new free fonts in Google Slides

You may have missed that, back in June 2021, Google Fonts released 60 new fonts that can be used in Slides, ready and waiting for you to add to your next presentation! You may be overwhelmed by the choice – graphic display fonts, sleek sans-serif fonts, and intriguing condensed fonts – which do you pick? Let us save you some time by showing you our new favourites.

Want to learn more about how to choose the right font for your presentation? Continue reading! If you’d prefer to skip ahead to our breakdown of the best new Google fonts, click here.

Choosing fonts in Google Slides

Text forms a core part of most presentations, so why shouldn’t your chosen font be as fabulous as the rest of your deck?  While most people don’t analyse fonts with the precision or the tension of those in the American Psycho business card scene , and neither do we (we like to keep it more light-hearted), a great font can contribute to the overall appeal of your slides and shouldn’t be an afterthought.

Thinking about balance

When choosing a font, balance is key. Your font should complement the content and visuals in your presentation, not overshadow them. Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you have to shy away from bold fonts, or stick to one classic font all the time.

Of course, your slides should be legible and easy to understand. They hold information that you want your audience to read and take in effortlessly. If the content’s complex, you want to pick a font that’s super legible. You can’t adjust kerning (the gaps between individual letters) in Slides, so you need to choose a font with a decent amount of space between each glyph. If they’re too close, it’s hard on the eyes. If they’re too far apart then it’s hard to distinguish individual words from each other. You should also make sure the actual shapes in the font aren’t too wild, making them hard to read.

Personality

A legible font doesn’t have to be dull. Every font has its own character. Fonts are a major part of creating the right tone of voice, so they should line up with the personality of your presentation. If you want to create a fun presentation then, depending on the content, a slab sans serif, minimalist, or retro-inspired font could work. If your presentation topic is more serious, then a classic serif could be the way to go.

We’ve already given our verdict on 10 of the best original fonts in Google Slides, you can read that here . And if you need help adding and formatting fonts in Google Slides, check out the text and fonts section in our Ultimate Guide to Slides , otherwise keep reading to see our favourite new fonts in Google Slides.

Google Slides Fonts

Castoro is a serif font that works well for body text in presentations. If you’re looking for an alternative to Times New Roman but still want to appear professional, this could be the one for you. In this version, the font features diacritics and extra characters for many European languages. The starts and ends of characters in upper- and lower-case end with both sharp and softly rounded points, giving the impression of balance.

John Hudson designed the Roman type and the italic with Paul Hanslow, helped by Kaja Słojewska.

Fraunces is a serif, “Old Style” font, inspired by 20th century typefaces like the Cooper Series . It has a variable letter stroke width, more irregular than some other serif choices, which can make it a quirky choice if you want to stand out while retaining the professionalism of serif fonts. We particularly like Fraunces in upper-case italics. It works great for elegant titles, but the variable thickness and hook-like shapes can be distracting in body text. You might want to pair this font with a clean, neat sans serif like Roboto. Fraunces was designed by Phaedra Charles and Flavia Zimbardi.

Imbue is a condensed didone font (a genre of serif typefaces characterised by narrow characters and contrast of thick and thin lines). It’s not ideal for body text because its narrow x height makes it harder on the eyes but it makes for great titles. It’s didone characterisation takes this font back to the lineage of classical and artful treatises of the 18th century, while the thinner and irregular spacing between letters updates the genre. If you want an impactful serif font which balances professionalism and boldness, this could be a good choice for you. A lovely pairing would be with Helvetica, a classic sans serif font. Imbue was designed by Tyler Finck.

Buckle your seatbelts for this exciting addition to Slides! Comic Neue is the reimagined successor to the much debated Comic Sans. This reinterpretation makes the Comic Sans we know and love to hate more regularly spaced and sleek while retaining its unique character. The project owners wanted Comic Neue to be a more refined version of the contentious Comic Sans. We think they’ve succeeded with this casual font that’s perfect for internal docs and presentations where legibility is key.  This project was started by Craig Rozynski.

Mulish is a clean and minimalist sans serif font. Mulish was designed for both display and text typography. Its simplicity means it would complement a bolder, or more stylised, font well (check out Oi or Rowdies below for your titles!). However, it’s also great alone! Pairing an all-caps title with sentence-case body text work well in presentations with a contemporary style. Designed by Vernon Adams initially, this font was updated by Jacques Le Bailly and Allison Le Bailly after Adams’ passing in 2017.

JetBrains Mono

JetBrains Mono is a unique sans serif font for a simple reason — it’s designed for developers. Maximised height for lowercase characters with standard width (hence ‘Mono’) allows code lines to be an expected length. Plus, the rectangular oval shapes of the characters ensures readers can read text easily. Its readability makes JetBrains Mono a great choice for presentations despite its specificity for programming. A fun way to use this font would be to have your titles in all upper-case while having the body text in sentence case. JetBrains Mono is designed by Philipp Nurullin and Konstantin Bulenkov.

Syne Mono is a quirky, artsy monospaced font is a font packed with arty intentions, it was designed as an exploration of ‘atypical associations of weights and styles’, with Syne Mono being a new take on ‘letting go of control’. This typeface serves as an alternative to more traditional fonts and takes on a nonconformist character – great if you want to create a presentation with a similar tone. Its variable width harks back to a 90s aesthetic of inky screenprints and glyphs on t-shirts, perfect for body text that you want to have a lot of texture. Syne was conceptualized by Bonjour Monde and designed by Lucas Descroix with the help of Arman Mohtadji

Syne Mono, like all these next fonts, may be distracting or too unique for some presentations, but there are quirkier fonts we thought to highlight to showcase an interesting variety.

MuseoModerno

MuseoModerno is a contemporary sans serif typeface, originally designed for the new identity of the Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires by Marcela Romero, Héctor Gatti, Pablo Cosgaya and the Omnibus-Type Team. This font is particularly fun. Thanks to its fluid and geometric lettering, MuseoModerno has lots of character. We think that pairing a heavier and lighter weight of will look fantastic. Strongly branded for the Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires, this font would be an excellent choice for a graphic presentation relating to contemporary art and design, but perhaps not for a company looking to find its own unique identity.

Dela Gothic One

Dela Gothic One is a thick, flat Gothic font which works well for title slides and presentations with less text when you want a contemporary, design-forward presentation. Heavily weighted fonts like this one lend themselves to colourful presentations.  If you want your presentation to have a retro feel, but are worried about it feeling cheesy, then this font might be a good choice. Some letters, particularly the lowercase ‘a’ and ‘s’, have a real 70s feel but overall, the font gives an impression of stability rather than the goofiness some other novelty fonts might inspire.  Dela Gothic One is one font from the Dela Gothic typeface family, and includes the Latin alphabet, full width hiragana and katakana characters, and kanji jis up to the third level. It’s designed by artakana.

Feeling cheeky? ‘Oi’ is a fun and plump serif display font (a font designed for being used in large sizes). It pays homage to grotesque slab serifs from the mid–19th century such as Caslon Ionic . Its name, ‘oi’ is an abrupt and cheeky call to attention, as Google Fonts notes, mirroring its unapologetic attention-seeking character. Statement fonts with tight kerning, like Oi, are best used very sparingly (i.e. for title and section header slides) without any other text as it’s such a statement. Designed by Kostas Bartsokas, they deem it a ‘clarendonesque on steroids’. Read more about the story of Oi.

The final font on this list, Rowdies is a suitably named, bold display font inspired by Indian action cinema. Designed by Jaikishan Patel for drama, adventure, thriller and crime genres of storytelling, Rowdies will help you convey fearlessness. To keep a sense of modern professionalism in your decks, you could pair Rowdies with Gill Sans . This font has interesting features like diamond-shaped tittles (the dots above a lowercase i or j), and a mix of angular flat edges and round curves. It’s a great title font with wide enough kerning to be easily legible.

And there you go! Our top choices for the new fonts available in Google Slides. All these fonts are free and open source, licensed to use in print, digital, commercial or other projects under the Open Font License. Nothing here tickle your fancy? You can examine the whole range of new and existing fonts in the Google Font library , which you can download and use in projects in and outside of Slides.

What is a presentation? A combination of texts and images. While visuals should always be a priority in your presentation design, you don’t have to forget about how your text looks . Google Slides has given us 25 default fonts + some variations of their boldness . Bear in mind that not every font could be made lighter or bolder. But we’ll touch base on this later.

First of all, why should you bother about which font you use? Let’s find out.

Article overview: 1.   When is a good idea to change fonts? 2. How to use fonts appropriately? 3. How to change fonts in Google Slides? 4. How to add fonts to Google Slides?

1. When is a good idea to change the fonts?

Fonts influence trust, credibility, and even the route people take to their destination. In the same way that music evokes certain emotions, font types can affect your state of mind as well. The choice of font is a crucial part of setting audience expectations and determining professional versus informal settings. It’s important to consider the subconscious effects fonts can have before you make a final decision for presentation text.

Fonts tell your customers a lot about your brand. Every font has its own personality, and that personality is associated with the brand that uses it.  For example,  a professional, corporate-looking font would go well with a formal business, just like a hand-written font would fit well with a unique restaurant.

But what are the most common cases when people change fonts? Let’s see:

• Branding fonts  – using specific fonts is part of the branding strategy for many companies. Most corporate presentations use fonts that the company has approved.
• Standing out with the presentation  – as we have already written, the font does play an important role in setting the tone of the presentation.
• Topic-relevant fonts – if you have a presentation on a specific topic (like a horror story), you might create a better visual effect if you add a specific font.

2. How to use fonts appropriately?

It goes without saying that choosing the right fonts matter. It is a defining part of your success. Knowing how to use fonts in a presentation will separate you from bad presenters and boost your confidence. Let’s see some good practices.

✅ Be consistent with fonts  – while it may look cool initially to pose with different fonts, it’s typically considered a mistake to mix fonts from different font categories . Using Helvetica fonts  mixed with   Comic Sans  is not a good idea, since they are not from the same family. If you’re using different fonts, it will be best if they are all Serif, all Sans Serif, etc. ReallyGoodDesigns has an article dedicated to font combinations .

✅ Don’t use more than 2-3 fonts – even if you are using fonts from the same category, it’s still a good idea to stick to two, a maximum of three fonts. Otherwise, you risk getting your audience distracted by the variety of fonts. Keep it simple – you want to impress with content.

✅ Use fonts according to your presentation  – while some fonts might look great, they might not be relevant to your presentation. Typically, decorative fonts don’t look okay when shown in Google Slides so you’d better avoid that from happening. If you don’t know what to use for your next Google Slides presentation, stick to Open Sans and Lato – you won’t get it wrong this way.

3. How to change fonts in Google Slides?

Before we show you how to add fonts in Google Slides, let’s see how to change the existing ones. There are more than 25 options + and so many sub-variants, that in most cases you would never need to add fonts different than the established ones.

Step 1. Open your Google Slides presentation

Step 2. select a text.

Now, it’s time to select the text you desire to change the font of. So, click on the text box to mark the text and select every letter you want to modify.

Step 3. Change the font

When you have selected the text, it’s time to change the font by selecting another font and picking font weight (if possible). In order to find if your desired font can be further modified, it should have a dropdown option. Once you hover over the triangle, you can see how many options you have at your disposal. Merriweather has only four options available, while Montserrat has nine.

Step 4. Fix font size and the other font components

Your task is not done, once you change the font. The different fonts might take up more space, thus becoming unusable. Ensure you have fixed the text weight, font size, and colors before moving on.

4. How to add fonts to Google Slides?

Sometimes, the fonts available in Google Slides are simply not enough. But worry no more – there are hundreds of fonts (more than 900)  that you can add to your presentation. You can find fonts dedicated to specific language groups or stylings like Serifs, Sans Serifs, Handwriting, etc.

Step 2. Highlight the text you wish to edit

Step 3. click on “more fonts”.

Instead of picking a font from the list, click on the top option which will display you much more fonts.

Step 4. Select a font to add

Now, you have the option to add new fonts. You can pick them up either from the search box (if you know the name of your desired font) or via the different filters: Scripts/Show/Popularity.

Step 5. Start typing/replacing

You can start using your recently added font straight away.

As we could see, there are plenty of fonts to choose from in Google Slides and it is not hard to change or add new fonts to your presentation. However, finding the balance between fonts and combining them is one of the most crucial things you need to do.

How to add fonts to Google Slides

Choosing the right font for your presentation is important. While Google Slides has a good selection of fonts , you may want something different. Even though you cannot upload or use a font from your computer in Google Slides, there are ways to get more font choices.

Add more fonts to Google Slides

Use a font add-on for google slides, frequently asked questions.

Here's how to get and add fonts in Google Slides:

• Select the Font drop-down list, and click More.
• In the pop-up window, you can you can narrow down the font options.
• Select the font you want to use. It's now in the My fonts list on the right.
• When you finish adding the fonts you want to use, select OK.
• You’ll then see your new selections in the Font drop-down list.

We'll delve more into each of these steps below.

What You Need

Web browser

Google account

When you want to change the current font you’re using in Google Slides , you simply pick one from the Font drop-down list in the toolbar. You can add more fonts to this list in just a few steps.

Step 1: Select the Font drop-down list in the toolbar and pick More fonts at the top.

Step 2: When the pop-up window appears, you can narrow down the font options and sort them.

Scripts : To choose the language, use the Scripts drop-down menu. Select a script and you’ll see the available font styles.

Show : To choose the style, use the Show drop-down menu. Select a style like serif, sans serif, or handwriting and you’ll see the fonts for that style.

Search : To find a particular font, enter a keyword into the Search box. You’ll then see the matching results.

Sort : To sort any of the above, use the Sort drop-down menu. You can sort by popularity, in alphabetical order, by date added, or trending.

Step 3: If you see a font you want to use, select it in the list. This places a checkmark next to it, highlights it, and places it in the My fonts list on the right.

Step 5: You’ll then see your new selections in the Font drop-down list. Select the drop-down and you'll see all the available fonts at the bottom which includes your new fonts. Simply choose the one you want to use.

In an earlier version of this article, we recommended the use of an add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace. This add-on, known as Extensis Fonts, offered another option for accessing and adding new fonts to Google Slides. However, we've now discovered that the extension currently doesn't appear to work as well as it had when we first recommended it.

While testing Extensis Fonts again recently, it failed to install, via two different browsers. Additionally, when we tried to find an alternative add-on to replace the previous add-on recommendation in this article, we were unable to find a suitable replacement. At this time, we feel that the Google Workspace Marketplace doesn't have any other viable font add-on options that we would feel comfortable recommending to our readers. The remaining options in this marketplace were either poorly reviewed (1-star ratings) or had nothing to do with adding new fonts.

That said, at this time, if you need to add fonts to Google Slides, you're better off using Slides' native More Fonts feature as described in the section above.

Until Google provides the option to add your own fonts to Google Slides , you can use Slides' More Fonts feature for a wider selection.

Can you upload your own fonts in Google Slides?

No you cannot upload your own custom fonts in Google Slides. The best option for choosing a different font is by using Google Slides' native "More Fonts" feature. This can be done by taking the following steps:

• Select Fonts, and click More.
• In resulting pop-up window, you can you can narrow down your options.
• Select the font you want to use, and it will appear in the My fonts list on the right.
• When you finish adding fonts, select OK.
• You’ll then see your new fonts in the Font drop-down list.

Can I use local fonts in Google Slides?

Unfortunately, you cannot use your own local fonts in Google Slides. However, Google offers additional fonts that you can access by using the "More Fonts" feature in Slides. This can be accessed in the toolbar in Google Slides.

What is the prettiest font on Google Slides?

The prettiest fonts on Google Slides, according to popular consensus, include Open Sans, Montserrat, Roboto, and Source Sans Pro. Of course, these things are subjective, so we recommend experimenting with different fonts in Google Slides using the program's "More Fonts" feature, so you can find the one that suits you best.

Typography can make or break a presentation. You can work for hours on templates and colors but if you choose illegible or funky fonts, it can hurt your presentation.

In a professional setting, it’s important to choose fonts that convey a sense of seriousness while still being playful. This balance is tough to achieve. However, the following free Google Fonts are perfect for professional presentations, whether you create the presentations in PowerPoint or one of its alternatives .

Serif Fonts vs. Sans-Serif Fonts

Fonts (or typefaces) are mainly divided into two categories: serifs and sans-serifs. Serif means tail in Latin. A serif font is one which has strokes at the ends of the letters. Times New Roman is the best example of a popular serif font.

Sans stands for without. So, sans-serif font is a font without strokes at the ends of the letter (think Helvetica or Arial).

For a professional office presentation, it’s best to go with a sans-serif font. But some new-age serif fonts can also work quite well for title slides. They perfectly complement modern sans-serifs. If you’re curious, read our guide to typography terms to understand them better.

1. Playfair Display

Playfair Display is a serif font with a bit of flair. It can be traced back to the Age of Enlightenment in Europe during the late 18th century when broad nibs were replaced by sharp steel pens. This gives Playfair a graceful, feminine twist. A stark contrast from boring serif fonts like Times New Roman.

Playfair Display makes for an elegant header text for presentation; especially when paired with pastel color backgrounds.

Pairs well with : Open Sans

Arvo is a slab-serif font designed for perfection. It’s a geometric typeface that’s a mix between classic and modern. Arvo Regular is a thin, modern version of the slab serif, While Arvo Bold has a thicker stroke and sharp corners.

Arvo Bold works best in bigger font sizes, as a title for business or corporate related presentations. When paired with the right colors, Arvo can be quite powerful.

Pairs well with : Lato

You can’t say this about many fonts but the Crimson font is quite simply beautiful. If you’re trying to dazzle your audience with a classy-yet-fun presentation, consider using Crimson for titles and subtitles.

Crimson is a sans-serif font inspired by the Garamond font, but it goes beyond that. It is a modern take on the traditional old style fonts and is designed from the ground up to look good on screens and websites. If you’re tired of using Times New Roman in a presentation, switch to Crimson.

Pairs well with : Montserrat

4. Open Sans

When preparing to make a professional presentation the first rule is to avoid a wall of text. Even a list of bullet points can be a little too much. But if you need a couple of lines to explain something, or if you’ve got a long quote in the form of a slide, try using Open Sans.

Open Sans is an open-source humanist sans-serif font. It is the typical workhorse of a font and will work well in almost any circumstance when paragraph text is used. It is a comfortably legible font, even at small sizes. The semibold version of the font works just as well as a title font.

Pairs well with : Raleway

Lato means Summer in Polish and this font truly feels like a draft of the early Summer breeze. When you look at the font closely, it’s astonishing that a font with such attention to detail is available for free under the open-source license.

Lato was commissioned as a font by a large corporation which later decided to go in another direction. Lato was then turned into a free font. And you can see its corporate roots here. The font is playful with its semi-rounded details, but in a way that’s still professional. Lato font family is quite varied, starting from the Hairline version all the way to Heavy and Black.

Since Lato was designed to be a versatile font, it can be used as paragraph text and as title font as well.

Pairs well with : Open Sans, Raleway

6. Montserrat

Montserrat set in Extra Bold is the perfect way to convey youth and forward-thinking in a professional presentation. Montserrat is a font you’ll often find in the landing pages of technology startups. The font is inspired by old posters and signs from the Montserrat neighborhood in Buenos Aires.

Thanks to its geometric shapes, Montserrat is one of those fonts that pairs very well with other sans-serif fonts. For example, Montserrat in Bold will work well with Open Sans and Lato.

7. Merriweather

Merriweather is a serif font that was designed for reading on screens. It’s a traditional serif font but it has more room to breathe. The letterforms themselves are condensed, with a higher x-height, leaving more room between letters.

Pairs well with : Open Sans, Roboto

8. Abril Fatface

Abril Fatface is part of the larger Abril family which has 18 different typefaces ranging from Display to Text versions. The Fatface version is not for everyone. In fact, it’s more of a stylistic choice.

It has thick, swooping strokes coupled with thin serifs. This gives the font a unique personality and a powerful presence on the screen. Its serif roots give it gravitas while the tilting stokes give it a sense of playfulness. If you want your text to stand out while still maintaining a professional look, try using Abril Fatface as the title font.

Pairs well with : Raleway, Open Sans

Think of Ubuntu as the stylistic version of Open Sans. It’s also an open-source humanist sans-serif font. Its development was funded by Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu Linux (which is one of our favorite distros).

While Open Sans has symmetrically rounded edges, Ubuntu curves strokes from a single edge. This is most evident in letters like "u" and "n".

10. Raleway

Raleway brings the elegance of a serif font to a sans-serif font. It’s a thin font designed to be used for headings, making it the perfect font for title slides.

If you find the regular version to be a little too thin, then you can try out the semibold version.

Pairs well with : Roboto, Merriweather

Learn the Art of Font Pairing

The most important aspect of designing a presentation is not overdoing it. Just select one or two fonts and use them across the entire presentation. The same goes with color and the template as well. Keep things simple and consistent.

If you’re still coming to grips with the different types of typography, and you’re confused about serif and sans-serif fonts, just pick a simple sans-serif font like Open Sans and stick with it.

Once you’re comfortable playing around with type, you’re off to the races. Try different combinations of sans-serif and serif fonts. Pair Crimson with Lato or Playfair Display with Open Sans and see if it works.

Font pairing can be done quickly and easily online. You don’t even need to download all the fonts on your computer. Use websites like Google Fonts and Font Pair to find the perfect font pairing for a presentation.

10 of The Best Aesthetic Fonts on Google Slides

Fonts play an important role in creating visually appealing presentations. Google Slides comes with a variety of fonts that you can use to make your slides look more aesthetic. However, sometimes the default fonts just don’t cut it.

You can’t upload your own fonts to Google Slides. However, there are a vast number of popular and standard fonts available for you to choose from on the Google font library. To save you the trouble of finding them, we’ve compiled a list of the 10 best aesthetic fonts that you can use on Google Slides.

1. Open Sans

4. montserrat, 8. merriweather, 10. vollkorn.

Open Sans is a versatile sans-serif typeface designed with both digital and print applications in mind. The clean, modern lines of the letterforms make it highly readable, while the slightly condensed proportions give it a touch of personality.

With its functionality and style, Open Sans is an increasingly popular choice for both digital and print designers. You can consider this font for your next Google Slides project if you’re looking for something that is both stylish and easy to read.

The Lora font is a contemporary Serif typeface that Cyreal designed in 2011. The font is highly readable, even in small sizes. It is mainly optimized for use in web browsers and digital documents but can also be used for print projects.

The font comes with moderate contrast, making it perfect for body text. It has a very stylish cursive look that would be well-suited for more formal Google Slides presentations. If you’re looking for a Serif font with personality, Lora is definitely worth considering.

Roboto is a widely used font on the internet, and for a good reason. Google designed the font in 2011 to provide a more humanistic alternative to regular sans-serif fonts such as Arial.

The result is a clean, modern-looking font that is highly readable in all sizes. As a result, Roboto is often used as the default font on Android devices and is a good choice for Google Slides presentations viewed on mobile devices.

Montserrat is a sans-serif typeface with a strong character. The font was designed by Julieta Ulanovsky in 2010, who was inspired by the old posters and signs in the Montserrat area in Buenos Aires. The font includes several character sets and weights, making it perfect for both headlines and body text.

You can consider using the Montserrat font if you’re looking for a font with a strong character that’s still easy to read. The font also has a reliable feel to it, which can be helpful if you’re creating presentations for a more serious topic.

The caveat is a free handwriting style font with a casual and friendly feel. Pablo Impallari designed the font in 2017. It is perfect for annotation and headlines, subheadings, and body text.

You can use the Caveat font if you’re looking for a handwritten feel but still easy to read. The font’s friendly vibe makes it a good choice for more lighthearted presentations.

The Bentham font is a highly readable typeface designed by JeBen Weiner. The font is inspired by nineteenth-century gravestones, maps, and other documents. The Bentham font is perfect for presentations that need to be easy to read but still have a visual appeal.

This font can be an excellent choice for informal presentations. Especially, you can use it for the titles, opening slides, or any other text that needs to be attention-grabbing. The simple but stylish design makes it a good choice for various projects.

Inter is an optimized font for computer screens. It was designed by Rasmus Andersson. The font is an excellent choice if you want your presentations to be legible on all devices. The font includes a variety of weights and styles, which makes it perfect for both headlines and body text.

The Inter font features a tall x-height, wide apertures, and a mixture of capital and small letters. The result is a highly readable font that is perfect for presentations viewed on variable screens.

Merriweather is a serif typeface that Eben Sorkin designed in 2011. The font was designed with the aim of being as legible as possible, even on low-resolution screens.

The higher readability of the Merriweather font makes it a good choice for presentations that will be viewed on screens. In addition, the font includes large x-heights and a slightly condensed letterform, which makes it perfect for various applications.

The Ubuntu font is a sans-serif typeface that Dalton Maag designed in 2010. The font was commissioned by Canonical Ltd to provide a consistent, readable, and inviting typeface for the software community and the Ubuntu project.

The font is released under an open-source license and includes a variety of weights and styles. It is perfect for both headlines and body text.

Vollkorn is a serif typeface that was designed by Friedrich Althausen in 2005. The font was published under a Creative Commons license and has since been downloaded thousands of times.

The font is intended to be a high-quality text face for usual use. It has dark and meaty serifs and a bouncing and healthy look. It can be used in the body copy or just as well for headlines and titles.

There are many fonts to choose from when creating a presentation in Google Slides. The best font for your project will depend on the message you’re trying to communicate and the tone of your presentation.

The above fonts are some of the best options for both headlines and body text. Next time you’re creating a presentation, be sure to consider these fonts to make your slides stand out.

Lee Stanton Lee Stanton is a versatile writer with a concentration on the software landscape, covering both mobile and desktop applications as well as online technologies. Read more August 28, 2023

When you’ve finished a good portion of a Google Slides presentation and decide to use a different font, you could be left frustrated. If you’ve created many slides and suspect you have to change them one by one, you might be tempted to leave them alone instead. Fortunately, it’s easy to change the font on every slide at once.

This article will explain everything you need to know.

Change the Font on All Slides With Master Slide (pre-October 2021)

When you decide to experiment, follow these steps to change the font on the entire Google Slides presentation. This process is applicable if you have a version of Google Slides that predates October 2021.

• The top text box changes the slide titles.
• The lower text boxes control the text in the presentation body.

Leaving the master slides open can result in accidental but monumental changes, so verify that this is closed before you continue working on the presentation.

Change the Font on All Slides With Theme Builder (after October 2021)

If you have an updated version of Google Slides, these steps will help you edit an entire presentation through the Theme Builder feature. With the Theme Builder editor, you can change the font throughout the presentation from one location.

• On the left, you can see each of your presentation’s slide layout templates, and how many slides use each template.

Your changes will now be reflected in the entire presentation.

How to Add More Fonts to Google Slides

Google Slides gives you access to more fonts than you can see in the drop-down menu. If you can’t find the perfect font, you can browse more fonts and add them to your available options.

Google Slides supports all Google Fonts. Unfortunately, it doesn’t currently offer the ability to port in third-party fonts. Their list is extensive, however, and should have plenty of fonts to choose from to complement your presentation theme.

Other Tips for the Master Slide Template

While you’re editing the master slide, it’s helpful to know your options. Not only can you change the presentation’s text, but you can also edit just about anything in the presentation:

• Text format
• Theme, both pre-set and customized
• Slide layout
• Text Placeholders

Any of these features can be changed in the entire presentation with the master slide template.

Changing the Font on All Google Slides

It might seem overwhelming when you need to change the font on a bunch of Google Slides at once, but as you can see, it’s really quite simple. No need to worry about selecting the perfect font at the beginning of a presentation. You can make a font switch at any time.

Have you ever had to change the font on all of your Google slides? Did you use any of the tips or tricks featured in this article? Let us know in the comments section below.

How to Add Fonts to Google Slides Presentations?

Fonts wield a subtle yet powerful influence on perceptions, impacting trust, credibility, and the audience’s journey toward their objectives. Just as different music genres evoke distinct emotions, varied fonts can elicit diverse responses. Selecting the appropriate font becomes pivotal in conveying a sense of professionalism or informality, setting the tone for effective communication. 

The font employed can offer insights into a company’s identity. Before finalizing a font for your presentation, it’s crucial to assess its potential impact on the audience subconsciously. Beyond aesthetics, readability and visual clarity are also important when choosing a font for your Google Slides presentation. Let’s explore new font options and understand how to add fonts to Google Slides.

What Is Adding Fonts to Google Slides?

Adding fonts to Google Slides means involving or creating a custom font in the presentation. Google Slides has a range of built-in fonts, but they are very restricted. Professionals may desire more variety or want to align their presentations with specific branding or stylistic preferences.

Therefore, adding fonts allows professionals to integrate personalized or unique fonts into their Google Slides presentations. This gives them more options for fonts, allowing them to pick the one that best fits. Using appropriate fonts in your presentation can also make you appear more competent and well-prepared. 

Benefits of Adding Fonts to Google Slides

• Visual Appeal: Custom fonts enhance the aesthetics of your slides, making them more visually appealing.
• Brand Consistency: Align presentations with brand guidelines for a consistent and professional look.
• Personalization: Express individual or organizational personality for a more relatable presentation.
• Tailored Messaging: Choose fonts that complement your message, enhancing overall impact.
• Readability and Emphasis: Improve text readability and strategically emphasize key points for better understanding.
• Differentiation: Stand out by using unique fonts, setting your presentation apart from default styles.
• Cultural Representation: Select fonts that support various languages, promoting inclusivity in your content.

Chrome Is Top Dog, but Firefox Is Still My Favorite Browser

Why i'm switching from google to proton, 5 things i never back up to the cloud, quick links, how to find available font styles in google slides, how to add or remove fonts on your list.

Google Slides has more fonts than what may first appear when looking through the fonts drop-down menu. We'll show you how to find those hidden fonts and add them to (or remove them from) this menu.

Google Slides comes with a default list of fonts to choose from when you want to change the font type of your text. The drop-down menu only appears in the menu bar when you select a text box. Click a text box in your presentation and then click the down arrow next to the font name.

The drop-down menu displaying a list of fonts will appear. While still a nice list of fonts, not all of the available fonts are actually shown here. If you can't find the font you're looking for, click "More Fonts" at the top of the drop-down menu.

The Fonts window will appear. This is where you can find all of the fonts that are available in Google Slides.

If you know the name of the font you're searching for, you can type it in the Search box in the top-left corner of the window.

You can also use filters to sort and show the available fonts. The filters can be set by using the drop-down menus to the right of the Search box.

• Scripts:  Select fonts for languages that use different writing systems, such as Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic, and others.
• Show:  Show all available fonts, or filter the font styles by "Display," "Handwriting," "Monospace," "Serif," or "Sans Serif."
• Sort: Sort the available fonts by popularity, alphabetical order, the date they were added, or by currently trending fonts.

Click the down arrow to the right of the box to show the drop-down menu, then click the filter option from the menu to select it.

Now that you know where and how to find the other available fonts, the next step is adding (or removing) them from your list.

Adding a font to your list is as simple as clicking it. When you click a font, it will appear in your "My Fonts" list to the right.

To remove a font from your "My Fonts" list, click the "X" next to the font.

When you're finished adding and removing fonts to your list, click the blue "OK" button in the bottom-left corner of the window.

Each font added or removed to your "My Fonts" list will be reflected in the fonts drop-down menu when editing your slides.

With the new font on the screen, you can do some basic formatting such as italicizing or underlining the text. These are basic functions you need to know how to do to create a professional presentation. Luckily, there are a ton of keyboard shortcuts to help you with text formatting. Learn these and you'll be a pro in no time.

How to use Custom Fonts in Google Slides

When creating a presentation, it’s important to stand out and make a lasting impression on your audience. Custom fonts can help you achieve that goal, and Google Slides offers a range of options to choose from. Custom fonts allow you to add a unique touch to your presentation, and make it more engaging and memorable. In this article, we’ll explore how to use custom colors for fonts in Google Slides, giving your presentation an extra edge that will help you connect with your audience and achieve your goals.

Introduction to Custom Fonts in Google Slides

If you’re tired of using the same old boring fonts that Google Slides offers, it’s time to spice things up with custom fonts. Custom fonts allow you to add personality to your presentations and make them stand out from the crowd. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of using custom fonts, the different options available, and how to change the font color to make them even more unique.

What are Custom Fonts in Google Slides?

Custom fonts in Google Slides are fonts that are not included in the standard list of fonts provided by Google. These fonts are downloaded and installed separately and can be used in your Google Slides presentations. They are a great way to add a personal touch to your slides and make your presentations more visually appealing.

The Benefits of Using Custom Fonts

The benefits of using custom fonts are many. By using custom fonts, you can:

• Make your presentations stand out
• Add a personal touch to your slides
• Create a consistent visual identity across all your presentations
• Make your presentations more engaging and visually appealing
• Set yourself apart from the competition

Understanding the Different Custom Fonts Available

Google Fonts vs. Custom Fonts

Google Fonts is a collection of free and open-source fonts that can be used in Google Slides. These fonts are widely available and easy to download and use. Custom fonts, on the other hand, are fonts that are not included in the Google Fonts library. These fonts can be purchased or downloaded from various online sources.

Types of Custom Fonts

There are many types of custom fonts available, including:

• Serif fonts: These fonts have small lines or flourishes at the ends of the strokes that make up each letter.
• Sans-serif fonts: These fonts do not have the small lines or flourishes that serif fonts do.
• Script fonts: These fonts look like handwriting and are often used for invitations and other formal documents.
• Display fonts: These are decorative fonts used for headings and titles.

Where to Find Custom Fonts

There are many websites where you can find custom fonts, including:

• Google Fonts
• Adobe Fonts
• Creative Market
• Font Squirrel

How to Choose Custom Fonts for Your Presentation

Matching Your Fonts to Your Message

When choosing custom fonts, it’s important to consider the message you want to convey. If your presentation is about a serious topic, you may want to choose a more traditional font like Times New Roman or Georgia. If your presentation is more playful or creative, you may want to choose a more whimsical font like Comic Sans or Kristen ITC.

Choosing Fonts that Work Together

When choosing custom fonts, it’s important to choose fonts that work well together. You can do this by choosing fonts from the same family, or by choosing fonts that have similar characteristics. You should also make sure that your fonts are easy to read and don’t distract from your message.

Testing Your Custom Fonts

Before using custom fonts in your presentation, it’s important to test them out to make sure they look good and are easy to read. You can do this by creating a sample slide with your fonts and showing it to a few people to get their feedback.

Changing the Color of the Custom Fonts in Google Slides

Basic Custom Font Color Settings

To change the color of your custom fonts in Google Slides, select the text you want to change and click on the “Text color” icon in the toolbar. From there, you can choose from a variety of preset colors, or you can select “Custom” to choose your own color.

Using the Eyedropper Tool to Match Colors

If you want to match the color of your custom font to another element in your presentation, you can use the eyedropper tool. Select the text you want to change, click on the “Text color” icon, and then click on the eyedropper tool. From there, you can select the color you want to match.

Advanced Custom Font Color Settings

If you want even more control over the color of your custom fonts, you can use the “More colors” option. Select the text you want to change, click on the “Text color” icon, and then select “More colors”. From there, you can enter the exact color code you want to use or adjust the color using the sliders.

Adding Gradient Effect to Custom Fonts

Custom fonts are a great way to personalize your Google Slides presentation, but what if you want to take it a step further and add a gradient effect? Luckily, it’s easy to do!

Applying a Gradient to Your Custom Fonts

To add a gradient effect to your custom font, first, select the text box. Then, click on the “Fill color” icon in the toolbar and select “Gradient.” You can choose from one of the preset gradients or create your own (more on that in the next section). Adjust the gradient to your liking and voila! Your custom font now has a gradient effect.

Creating Custom Gradients for Your Fonts

Creating your own custom gradient is a great way to make your presentation stand out. To create a custom gradient, start by selecting the text box and clicking on the “Fill color” icon in the toolbar. Select “Custom” from the dropdown menu and then click on “Gradient” at the bottom. From there, you can choose up to three colors to make up your gradient. Adjust the direction, angle, and opacity to your liking.

Tips to Make Your Custom Fonts Stand Out

Custom fonts can be a powerful tool in your presentation arsenal, but it’s important to use them strategically to avoid overwhelming your audience.

Using Custom Fonts Sparingly

While custom fonts can be eye-catching, using them too often can be distracting. Try to limit your use of custom fonts to headers or important points.

Combining Custom Fonts with Other Text Effects

Custom fonts can be even more impactful when combined with other text effects, such as bolding, italicizing, or underlining. This can help draw attention to important points without overwhelming your audience.

Using Custom Fonts with Images and Graphs

Custom fonts can also be used in conjunction with images and graphs to make your presentation more cohesive. Try using a font that complements the colors in the image or chart for a polished look.

Tips for Continued Success with Custom Fonts

To continue successfully using custom fonts in your Google Slides presentations, be sure to use them sparingly, in conjunction with other text effects, and consider the preferences of your audience and industry. Happy font-ing!

Using custom fonts can be a powerful way to make your presentations more effective and memorable. By following the tips and techniques outlined in this article, you can take advantage of the full range of Google Slides’ custom font options, and create truly engaging and impactful presentations. So go ahead and experiment with different custom fonts and colors, and see how you can use them to take your presentations to the next level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use any custom font in Google Slides? Yes, you can use any custom font you have installed on your computer or device. However, if you’re sharing your presentation with others, they may not be able to see your custom font if they don’t have it installed on their device.

How to Add More Fonts to Google Slides

Google Slides has a default set of fonts. Sometimes you want to try other fonts that are not available in the default set of fonts. This tutorial shows you how to add more fonts to Google Slides.

2 Methods to add more fonts to Google Slides:

• Use the Google Slides More Fonts option 
• Use a Google Slides add-on

Let us begin.

Method #1: Use the Google Slides More Fonts Option

This is the easiest method to add more fonts to Google Slides.

Step #1: Open your Google Slides presentation

Open your Google Slides presentation from the Google Slides home screen at slides.google.com .

Step #2: Activate the Font drop-down control

On the main menu, click on the Insert tab.

From the Insert drop-down menu, select Text box .

Click the Text box icon on the toolbar.

Click anywhere on the slide to create a text box. This activates the Font drop-down control on the toolbar.

Step #3: Add more fonts

Click on the name of the font currently being used.

This will open a dropdown menu, showing options for more font types

Click on the first option – More fonts – from the Font drop-down list.

Using the options at the top of the dialog box, you can search for fonts that appeal to you.

Enter a keyword in the search box and click the blue search button to search for a particular font. 

The search button has a magnifying glass icon. 

Select the fonts you want by clicking on each. 

 A check mark appears next to each font you have selected. 

The selected fonts are added to the My font drop-down list on the right of the dialog box.

There are other ways to filter for fonts too:

Scripts drop-down list

Use the Scripts drop-down list to filter according to a specific language. 

Show drop-down list

Use the Show drop-down list to choose the font style.

There are 5 options, and selecting any one of these will filter your font options accordingly.

After narrowing down your selection of fonts, click the blue OK button.

You will see your new selection of fonts in the Font drop-down list. 

Method #2: Use a Google Slides Add-on

Use this option if you want fonts that are unique and fancy.

Step #2: Install the add-on

You can find several font add-ons on the Google Workspace Marketplace .

We will use the Extensis Fonts add-on in our illustration.

You can install the add-on using its direct link here .

How to Convert InDesign to PowerPoint

The leading software for editorial design, Adobe InDesign, is often used to create presentation files due to its ease of handling and formatting text. It’s the go-to option for creating academic PDFs, with excellent reference handling and without losing the layout aspect when inserting images or graphs. However, presenters commonly ask how to convert indd to PowerPoint (*.indd is the file extension used by Adobe InDesign documents). 

In this article, we’ll learn how to export InDesign to PowerPoint and convert such files into editable PPTX files. These instructions are valid for both Windows and Mac users.

Step 1 – Open the file to export from InDesign

The InDesign to PowerPoint conversion process is quite simple. Start by opening the file you want to convert to PowerPoint format, then go to File > Export .

Step 2 – Exporting options in InDesign

Next, we want to configure the export format, file name, and where to save it. In this case, since there’s no way to natively convert from InDesign to PPT, we need to export to PDF format.

Step 3 – Exporting from PDF to PowerPoint

As we now have a generated PDF from InDesign, we need to open it in a PDF editor like Adobe Acrobat and export the PDF file to PPT or PPTX format; otherwise, the file won’t be editable.

In Adobe Acrobat, select the option to export to PowerPoint, and that’s it.

The newly generated PowerPoint file will be completely editable except for altering anchor points from shapes that weren’t generated inside PowerPoint. All in all, it’s a good method to create powerful presentations that require a higher text count or that have embedded graphics and references in an InDesign document.

No, InDesign doesn’t offer a direct export to PowerPoint option. You’ll need to convert the content using intermediary formats like PDF or image exports.

You can preserve some layout elements, but complex designs, fonts, and interactivity might not convert perfectly.

Yes, but this is more time-consuming. You would need to export text and images separately and manually position them in PowerPoint.

No, most interactive features in InDesign won’t carry over to PowerPoint. You’ll need to manually recreate them in PowerPoint.

Export images from InDesign as high-resolution images (JPG or PNG) and insert them manually into PowerPoint slides.

No, PowerPoint may not have the same fonts as InDesign (in case you work with Adobe fonts from your Adobe subscription plan). You’ll need to install the correct fonts in PowerPoint or substitute them.

Keep designs simple, use standard fonts available in both programs, and check alignment and resolution after conversion.

Yes, if the text is converted properly (e.g., via PDF export to PowerPoint), you can edit it.

PowerPoint doesn’t handle professional color profiles like CMYK as InDesign does, so colors may appear differently. If your presentation requires printing, we highly recommend it be done from InDesign itself.

Step 2: Change Your Account Language

• Scroll down to the “General Preferences for the Web” section.
• Click on “Language” and then “Edit.”
• Choose your preferred language from the list and click “Select.”

Step 3: Verify the Changes in Google Slides

• Launch Google Slides and create a new presentation or access an existing one.
• The interface should now display in the language you selected.

Adjusting the Language for Spell Check

If you need to write in multiple languages within the same presentation, you might need to adjust the spell-check settings:

Step 1: Open Google Slides

• Start or open a presentation.

Step 2: Access Tools

• Click on “Tools” in the top menu.

Step 3: Set Spell Check Language

• Select “Spelling” and then “Language.”
