Keynote Tutorial Text Format - Make your font consistent

Text is essential for your presentation. There is no presentation which does not have a text. By the way the gap between ideal presentation and real presentation is too big. Still many presentations are conquered by texts. Too many texts make people boring and gone from your presentation. So I would like to suggest a practical way to make your presentation better. Selecting a right font is very important to make your text better to read.

Select a sans serif type font than serif type font. And secondly don’t select too many fonts for your presentation. I prefer 1 or 2 fonts. One more thing is Keynote supports a special effect which calls ‘Text morphing’ and it is great to use a different type of font between slides.
