Deck font guide
Deck fonts should stay readable on screen and in PDF export. Presentation typography looks simple until a dense table, long quote, or bilingual title enters the slide. A strong deck usually separates a confident 40–48px headline voice from a stable 18–20px body family that survives projector glare and PDF compression.

Use display type on covers only; keep interior slides on one UI sans for PDF export safety.
Deck typography checks
Test at presentation distance, not arm’s length from a Retina monitor.
Large titles at 40–48px remain clear on projectors, Zoom share, and 1080p export.
Body copy, tables, footnotes, and chart labels stay readable at 16–20px with weight 400–500.
PDF export and image rendering do not expose missing weights, subset gaps, or licensing problems.
Bilingual titles: Hangul and English in one line keep consistent cap height and stroke weight.
Agenda and section divider slides reuse the same title/body scale so the deck feels systematized.
Recommended deck pairings
Business proposals: Source Sans 3 or IBM Plex Sans body at 18px + Sora or Outfit headlines at 44px.
Product demos: Inter or Pretendard 18px body with Satoshi or Clash Display 40px feature titles.
Korean investor decks: Pretendard or SUIT 18–20px body + Paperlogy or Aggro headlines at 48px.
Research reports: Noto Serif or Lora 18px long-form body with a neutral sans for chart labels at 14px.
Internal updates: single-family system (DM Sans or Pretendard) from 14px footnotes to 40px covers.
Slide-specific sizing guide
Cover title: 44–48px, weight 600–700; subtitle 20–24px, weight 400–500.
Section headers: 32–36px; bullet body 18–20px with 1.35–1.45 line height for dense lists.
Tables: 14–16px cell text; header row 14–16px at weight 600; avoid going below 12px in PDFs.
Chart labels and axis text: 12–14px minimum; test after exporting to PDF and viewing at 75% zoom.
Footnotes and sources: 12–13px; pick a family whose Regular stays legible when projected.
Deck mistakes that break in the room
Thin display weights on dark gradient covers that disappear on low-contrast projectors.
Decorative Korean display fonts used for 14px table data because the title slide looked fine.
Mixing four unrelated fonts across one deck because each slide was designed in isolation.
Embedding fonts disallowed by license before sending PDFs to clients or investors.
Relying on system fonts (Arial, Malgun Gothic) without checking cross-platform PDF embedding.
