Fonts can affect trust, believability, and even individuals’ path to their objectives. You can feel different things when you read different fonts, just like when you listen to different kinds of music. Choosing the right font is essential when trying to convey a sense of professionalism or informality to an audience. Before settling on a font for your presentation, you should unconsciously consider its impact on the audience.

Clients can learn a lot about your company from the fonts you use. One might infer something about a company’s identity from the font it employs. Similarly to how a hand-written font might complement a one-of-a-kind eatery, a professional, corporate-looking font would complement a formal business.

Even though Google Slides offers a wide variety of fonts to choose from, you may find yourself wishing for something unique. Google Slides does not allow you to upload or utilize a font from your computer, but there are workarounds.

What is Adding Fonts feature in Google Slides?

Adding fonts to Google Slides means introducing a new font to the presentation. The default font options in Google Slides are very restricted, but with this function, you can add your fonts to the presentation.

When a new font is installed, it can be accessed via the Font menu in Google Slides’ toolbar. This gives you more options for typefaces, so you can pick the one that best fits your presentation. Using appropriate fonts in your presentation can also make you appear more competent and well-prepared.

To Sum Up

Google Slides’ font options are a great way to inject personality and flair into your presentation. Your presentation’s visual appeal, brand recognition, and audience participation can all be optimized by using custom typefaces.

When adding custom fonts to your presentation, you should consider potential drawbacks, including compatibility, file size, licensing, consistency, and accessibility. You can get the most out of Google Slides’ support for custom fonts by using them selectively, checking to see that they play well together, and ensuring you have the necessary permissions and licenses.
