2. Tips for using these templates
Install and use NPSRawlinsonOT and Adobe Frutiger Std. These OpenType fonts are available from the NPS Graphic Identity Program website at
Keep text to an absolute minimum.
Use photographs, illustrations, simple charts or graphics to convey key points whenever possible.
Remember: you the speaker are the focus of the presentation; the slides should simply illustrate and compliment the key points of your presentation.

3. How these templates are formatted
The serif typeface NPSRawlinsonOT is used for slide titles because it provides elegant letterforms that reinforce the agency’s rich graphic history.
The sans-serif typeface Adobe Frutiger Std. is used for text, bullet items, and captions because of its open letterforms and readability at smaller sizes.
A black overbar, arrowhead silhouette, and agency slogan are placed on all slide backgrounds to help maintain and reinforce the agency’s identity.
A medium-speed “Fade Smoothly” transition has been assigned to all slides in the Slide Master.
