Open replacement and PowerPoint fonts

For each role: the font this scheme names, the open replacement OPF's font policy identifies for it, and the font a PowerPoint export writes. Previews use the selected font if it is installed, otherwise the open replacement. See the OPF font policy.

Heading

Selected font:: Playfair Display; open license
Previews use:: Playfair Display; open font, used directly
PowerPoint export uses:: Playfair Display

Playfair Display is an open font (OFL-1.1). Google Fonts · Source

Body

Previews use:: Source Sans Pro if installed, otherwise Source Sans 3; open font, renamed family

Source Sans Pro is the former name of Source Sans 3, so previews use the renamed family (OFL-1.1).

open font, used directly: Open license, so the open font is the font itself.

OPF ID: classic-editorial
Type: Curated Pairing
Language Coverage: Latin
Readability: 8/10
License: Open Font License via Google Fonts; preserved as a legacy PPTX.gallery curated pairing.

This preview uses the named font if it is installed on your device, otherwise the open replacement from the OPF font policy, bundled with this site (metric-compatible where one exists, otherwise a visual look-alike with different text widths). License-restricted (proprietary) fonts are never bundled or embedded; the bundled faces are listed in their license notice. OPF exports name the font you selected, so PowerPoint shows the real font when it is installed or available as an Office cloud font.

Type Size Reference

Element	Size	Purpose
Main Title	44-60pt	Opening slides, major section headers
Section Header	32-40pt	Topic introductions, key messages
Subheading	24-28pt	Supporting points, category labels
Body Text	20-24pt	Detailed content, explanations
Captions	14-16pt	Image credits, footnotes, sources

Font Scheme Rules

Maximum 3 Type Sizes

Use no more than three distinct sizes per slide: headline, subhead, and body. This maintains clear hierarchy without visual chaos.

Minimum 24pt Body Text

Body text should be at least 24 points for comfortable readability, even from the back of a large room.

Two Fonts Maximum

Stick to one font for headings and one for body text. More typefaces create inconsistency and slow reading.

Consistent Line Height

Use 1.4-1.6x line height for body text. Tight leading makes text hard to scan; loose leading wastes space.

Left-Align Body Text

Left-aligned text is fastest to read. Reserve center-alignment for short headlines and quotes only.

Limit Line Length

Keep lines to 50-75 characters for optimal readability. Full-width text blocks are exhausting to read.
