Bring brand typography into PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides
Font Relay is a web-based, drag-and-drop tool for brand teams who already use a custom typeface everywhere else — websites, campaigns, print — but are forced to fall back to system or Google fonts in decks.
By turning brand typography into transferable animated GIFs or static PNGs, Font Relay allows custom fonts to work reliably inside PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides, without embedding fonts or breaking layouts when files are shared.
Built for brand teams
Presentations are where many organisations do the bulk of their work. When custom brand fonts don’t travel well, decks often default to system fonts, setting the lowest common denominator for the entire brand’s typography.
Font Relay gives custom typography a reliable way to exist inside presentations, without compromising brand personality, speed, or cross-team collaboration.
Designed for decks
Font Relay uses variable fonts to animate typography along existing design axes, rather than simulating motion after the fact. That motion is exported as lightweight GIFs, allowing custom and variable fonts to behave consistently inside decks, without embedding fonts, rebuilding slides, or relying on After Effects, file converters, or code.
It works just as well with static fonts, allowing teams to use still PNGs where motion isn’t needed. Because the output is portable, any team member — not just designers — can drop in title slides, section dividers, and messaging quickly and consistently, making brand typography part of everyday deck production rather than a special-case asset.
Fits your layout, exactly
Presentations live on grids. Font Relay respects that.
You can match your existing slide margins down to the pixel, preview text inside a 16:9 frame, and place animated or static typography exactly where it needs to land. The result drops into PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides already aligned.
Need a version built for your brand?
We can build a custom Font Relay locked to your typeface, colour palette, and slide margins, so anyone on your team can produce on-brand typography without touching the settings.

Which browsers work best with Font Relay?
Font Relay works best in modern desktop browsers. In our testing, Firefox produces the most consistent results, followed by Chrome and Opera. Safari may show minor differences in letterspacing or alignment in some cases.
Can anyone use Font Relay, or do I need special software or skills?
Font Relay is web-based and designed to be straightforward to use. You don’t need After Effects, animation tools, file converters, or any technical knowledge. If you can work with decks, you can use Font Relay.
Is Font Relay only for decks, or can it be used elsewhere?
Font Relay is designed for decks, but it isn’t limited to them. We also use it to create typographic animations for the web. By exporting at smaller sizes, the same files work well on websites and other digital touchpoints.
How much does Font Relay cost?
Font Relay is free to use on our website.
For teams who want a bespoke version — locked to a specific brand font, colour palette, and layout system — we can build a custom version tailored to your brand. If that’s of interest, get in touch.
