Legacy Font Scheme

Warm Storytelling

Friendly serif with humanist sans-serif. Excellent for narrative-driven and educational content.

Heading Font

Lora

Body Font

Merriweather Sans: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

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.

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.

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.
