CalibriĬalibri is a sans-serif font designed by Lucas de Groot and has subtly rounded stems of the letters. The six C-fonts are Calibri, Cambria, Candara, Consolas, Corbel and Constantia. Let’s explore them as potential fonts for your next PowerPoint.

The C-font collection consist of three sans-serifs, two serifs and one monospaced font.

They were all named with the beginning letter C as they were to emphasize that they work well as ClearType fonts (a technology introduced by Microsoft in 2002 to render text in a font system) and are part of the ClearType Font Collection. In 2002 Microsoft commissioned six new fonts to be introduced with the Microsoft Vista system. Six of these “safe” fonts are the six “C-fonts”. There are only 40-something fonts that are safe to use if you want your PowerPoint to show correctly on any computer or in any version of PowerPoint (read more about these fonts here). Not only because fonts are communicating a feeling and a mood for your presentation, but also for practical reasons. When you are creating PowerPoints and choosing a font you have to make your selection carefully.
