I have a beef with Calibri.<\/b><\/h2>\n

Hey you, Calibri.<\/p>\n

Yeah you, you default font of every single Microsoft document. I\u2019m over you.<\/p>\n

So what if you\u00a0dethroned Times New Roman from its Microsoft default font reign?\u00a0I\u2019m not impressed anymore, with your rounded corners and soft lines taking me on an unwanted trip to early 2007.<\/p>\n

And today, I\u2019m ready to dethrone you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The problem is, you are everywhere<\/em>. In every new PowerPoint deck I open, there you are. And my biggest pet peeve?<\/p>\n

You are also in EVERYONE ELSE\u2019S PRESENTATIONS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Your PowerPoint is supposed to be your best wingman. But not tailoring it to your tone makes it more like that annoying lonely guy at a bar who sidles up to\u00a0your crew and ends up driving away the ladies.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s my belief that the most memorable presentations have a personality and soul. They act as the trusty sidekick of you, the superhero.<\/p>\n

The Robin to your Batman. The Chewy to your Han (depending on your perspective). You get\u00a0the idea.<\/p>\n

If this isn’t something you’ve thought about already, don’t sweat it.<\/p>\n

Here’s the good news:<\/p>\n

There is a universe of personality-filled typefaces just waiting in the wings to take your slides to the next level. Today is your chance to breathe life into your slides and dazzle your audience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now, today\u2019s PowerPoint comes with a decent array of font choices. Many of these are suitable for an internal business presentation (Franklin Gothic and Segoe are safe classics).<\/p>\n

I also understand that many companies\u2019 branding guidelines extend to internal presentations. So please don’t get flagged by HR for violating their typographical tenets.<\/p>\n

But if you can afford some wiggle room, it\u2019s time start looking for something with a little more…pizzazz. Something\u00a0Bold<\/strong>…or\u00a0soft-spoken<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Problem is, many custom fonts cost money. So where can you find cutting-edge fonts that won\u2019t break the bank?<\/p>\n

Enter the magical world of Google Fonts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why Should I Use Google Fonts in PowerPoint?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Google Fonts is taking the web type world by storm. More and more sites are adopting these refreshingly modern and whimsical fonts. Typography expert Jeremiah Shoaf of Typewolf<\/strong><\/a> observed that 4 of the 10 most popular web fonts are from Google. This includes the #1 ranked font Open Sans (which is a fantastic choice to start with).<\/p>\n

The best part? They\u2019re f-f-f-free! Who doesn\u2019t love free shtuff??<\/p>\n
