There are lots of options when it comes to typography inside of Google Slides.
But knowing how to make tape look good is part art and part science.
Here I'm going to show you the mechanicals of tape and how to make the changes you want within your
presentation.
The first thing we do is select the text by dragging that I want to change.
I can see most of my typographical controls up here in the toolbar if I click the font dropdown.
I'll see a list of available typefaces.
Now, what's interesting here is through the more fonts option, I have access to everything inside
of the Google Fonts library.
So a lot of fonts, there's well over a thousand of them.
I can select fonts that I want to be available or add new fonts from the library here.
So as we drag down, we can see the fonts that are part of the library.
And if I want to add one, for example, EB garment it, simply click on it.
And that's now added to the available fonts for my presentation.
There's loads of these fonts available, so there are some ways to filter them.
For example, here I can select fonts by Alphabet.
We're going to stick with all scripts.
I can choose fonts by type.
For example, if I only want display fonts, fonts that are used for headlines and that type of thing,
I can select that option.
Let's go ahead and add Titan one.
If I want, for example, handwriting fans, I can display those.
Or serif and sans serif fonts.
Sarah fonts have the little tails at the end of the letters and sans serif fonts.
Having no tails at the end of the letters, as you can see, there's loads of options here and it's
easy to become overwhelmed.
Let me give you a tip.
Use fewer fonts instead of more.
One maximum two different fonts are all you need for a presentation.
And make sure you select fonts that work well together.
You can go to fonts that google.com.
For more information on everything available inside of Google Fonts.
Now that I've added those funds, they'll be available here in my dropdown.
So let's drag down, let's choose one from here.
I'm going to choose.
Barlow there, Barlow has this little arrow, which means there are different versions of Barlow and
I'm going to choose Barlow Black.
And there you can see the types been altered now to Barlow Black.
I have the option here to make the text bold and or italics, underline the text and choose a color
for the text just the same way I choose a color for the background earlier.
We'll make our text orange.
Here I can choose a highlight color for behind the text.
I don't use that very often, but it's available to you.
And if I want to make the text into a hyperlink to a website or another slide, I can do that here.
Here I can choose the alignment for the text.
Left alignment.
Centered alignment, which is the default right alignment.
And I can also choose where the text appears inside the text box top, middle or bottom.
Let's leave that at centered what I have multiple lines of text I can choose how close those lines are
together.
This is known as the letting in typography.
And finally, I have some options to make bulleted list numbered lists and to indent the text, you
have complete typographical control inside of Google Slides.
But remember, less text is better when it comes to your presentation design.
