Presentations typically require at least two fonts: for the title and body text. We will show you how to choose a compatible pair.
A visual hierarchy is required to make it easier for users to read the information on your presentation slide.
One of the most important techniques is to divide the inscriptions into large and small. Each presentation has a large accented title and a scanty copy of the content.
Therefore, you should choose two different fonts before you start working. But it will look good together
What Is Font
It is essential to distinguish between "font" and "typeface". Typeface are groups of fonts such as Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman, or Roboto, and they can be in several styles: bold, italic, regular, thin. And a font is a specific typeface in some typeface.
The fastest way to separate the header from a text paragraph is to select two intersecting characters of the same character.
This type of response is useful for simple and easy to read sans serif or serif fonts. But sometimes you want to diversify your presentation design and use different fonts.
It also offers decorative and handwritten fonts with unique graphics. Great for headsets only - hard to read when small so you should be able to create a compatible pair of different headsets if you present them regularly.
Rule of Pairs
It is favorable to pair fonts from different groups: sans serif serif, sans serif or decorative serif fonts, sans serif or handwritten serif fonts. In a couple like this, the viewer is definitely not confused between the title and the main text.
However, those must be similar to be compatible. This is a feature where you can combine characters from different groups:
- From the general structure of the ratio Notice how wide or narrow the characters are. If the width of all characters in the font is the same or different, how big the distance between character is.
- The similarity of the shape of the letters Make sure the letters have sharp corners or smooth lines if they are straight or curved.
- From the opening (degree of receptivity of the signal), look for example the letter "c" - is it more of a semicircle or an open circle? Thus, we can summarize the clarity of the letters.
It is a bid complicated to combine different typefaces from the same group: two sans serif fonts or two serif fonts.
In these situations, it's important to avoid excessive closeness to similar characters, for example, you should avoid Arial and Helvetica are required on the same slide.
It is better to choose a pair so that the characters have obvious similarities and differences. Let's call another hole But have the same proportions or different proportions But with similar shapes for letters
Common Font Combination
Finding a good pair is a skill that requires experience and observation. But there is a very popular pair out there. You absolutely can't go wrong with any of these.
1. Helvetica and Garamond
2. Bodoni and Futura
3. PT Sans and PT Serif
4. Verdana and Georgia
5. Oswald Medium and Playfair
There are an infinite number of good character pairs. There is also a character matching service. But the downside of the service is that it is in English and can identify characters without the Cyrillic version. Also, online helpers did not select a font from all the varieties available. But it only chooses fonts installed on the system
