Font Tips for Presentations



This post was written by Tommy Gugino of Double the Trouble: My Life as a Fraternal Twin. For more shenanigans, visit his blog here.


My name is Tommy Gugino and I am a senior communication major with an emphasis in public relations from Las Vegas, Nevada.


So being a PR major, I look at a lot of advertisements and presentations every week with some of the ugliest fonts I have ever seen. If you know me you know that I am actually quite a font snob especially when it comes to presentations. Nothing bothers me more than a presentation with terrible font choices in them.


Here are six tips to consider when you build your next presentation.


  1. Have a sharp contrast between the font and your background
  2. Don’t use too many fonts in your presentation
  3. Use readable fonts
  4. Don’t capitalize all your letters
  5. AVOID script fonts
  6. Use italics sparingly
