When it comes to PowerPoint presentations, by and large a font is an unsung hero.
That’s because while crafting presentation slides, the font is on the last in priority list. In fact, the sad part is that for some presenters it does not matter at all.
Problem is that almost every presenter suffocates under the weight of hundreds of other tasks. That’s why instead of focusing on strategic or right use of font most presenters remain busy with integrating graphics, animations, visuals and oral preparation for the show.
But it is vital to understand that right from the cover slide to thank you slide it’s the font only that comes on every PPT template.
All in all, without using a great font, it’s hard to get a round of applause from the audience. But, there is hardly a presenter who truly understands the importance of a font.
Because of ignorance about font’s significance accompanied by little font knowledge, every presenter prefers to go with safe fonts. And that’s why almost in every second PPT we observe same old fonts like Arial, Times New Roman or Helvetica.
Well, we understand that for business PPTs presenters require formal looking fonts. Right! Sadly when it comes to business fonts, presenters know about 3-4 famed fonts only. But, besides these famed fonts, there are many other business fonts available to enrich the visual appearance and that also go well with all designs.
The crux is, now there is no need to stumble upon famed ones only. Time to hone up font knowledge and shift to other powerful business fonts.
To help you out here in this blog post we have come up with 9 killer fonts for business PPTs.
