A well-chosen font helps to:
- Improve clarity: Easy-to-read fonts prevent distractions and ensure key points stand out.

- Create an emotional connection: Fonts can evoke feelings of trust, excitement, or creativity.
With Adobe Express, you can easily select and test fonts that match your presentation style and message by exploring the free presentation maker and experimenting with presentation templates.
Popular font styles for presentations.
Different fonts create different impressions. Here are some common font styles and their best uses:
- Sans-serif fonts: Clean, modern, and highly readable, ideal for corporate or tech presentations (e.g., Helvetica, Open Sans).
- Serif fonts: Classic and authoritative, great for professional or academic presentations (e.g., Times New Roman, Georgia).
- Slab-serif fonts: Bold and impactful, used for strong headlines or key messages (e.g., Rockwell, Museo Slab).
- Script fonts: Elegant and creative, perfect for stylish and artistic presentations (e.g., Pacifico, Dancing Script).
- Monospace fonts: Technical and structured, often used for coding or data-heavy presentations (e.g., Courier, Roboto Mono).
With Adobe Express’s extensive font collection, you can find a style that aligns with your presentation’s purpose and audience.

How to match fonts with your presentation theme.
Selecting the right font combination enhances the overall flow and impact of your slides. Follow these tips to ensure consistency:
- Align fonts with your topic: A finance presentation may require structured serif fonts, while a creative pitch could use dynamic script fonts.
- Use a maximum of two fonts: Pairing one header font with a simple body font ensures readability.
- Create contrast for emphasis: Use bold or italicised versions to highlight key points.
- Test readability at different sizes: Ensure your fonts remain clear from a distance.
- Stick to brand colours: If your company has a brand kit, maintain consistent typography and colours.
