Dela Gothic One is a thick, flat Gothic font which works well for title slides and presentations with less text when you want a contemporary, design-forward presentation. Heavily weighted fonts like this one lend themselves to colourful presentations. If you want your presentation to have a retro feel, but are worried about it feeling cheesy, then this font might be a good choice. Some letters, particularly the lowercase ‘a’ and ‘s’, have a real 70s feel but overall, the font gives an impression of stability rather than the goofiness some other novelty fonts might inspire. Dela Gothic One is one font from the Dela Gothic typeface family, and includes the Latin alphabet, full width hiragana and katakana characters, and kanji jis up to the third level. It’s designed by artakana.
Oi
Feeling cheeky? ‘Oi’ is a fun and plump serif peru telephone code display font (a font designed for being used in large sizes). It pays homage to grotesque slab serifs from the mid–19th century such as Caslon Ionic. Its name, ‘oi’ is an abrupt and cheeky call to attention, as Google Fonts notes, mirroring its unapologetic attention-seeking character. Statement fonts with tight kerning, like Oi, are best used very sparingly (i.e. for title and section header slides) without any other text as it’s such a statement. Designed by Kostas Bartsokas, they deem it a ‘clarendonesque on steroids’. Read more about the story of Oi.

The final font on this list, Rowdies is a suitably named, bold display font inspired by Indian action cinema. Designed by Jaikishan Patel for drama, adventure, thriller and crime genres of storytelling, Rowdies will help you convey fearlessness. To keep a sense of modern professionalism in your decks, you could pair Rowdies with Gill Sans. This font has interesting features like diamond-shaped tittles (the dots above a lowercase i or j), and a mix of angular flat edges and round curves. It’s a great title font with wide enough kerning to be easily legible.
