From Google Fonts: Alegreya Sans is a humanist sans serif family with a calligraphic feeling that conveys a dynamic and varied rhythm. This gives a pleasant feeling to readers of long texts.
The Alegreya type system is a "super family", originally intended for literature, and includes sans and
sister families. The family follows humanist proportions and principles, and achieves a ludic and harmonious paragraph through elements carefully designed in an atmosphere of diversity. The italics bring a strong emphasis to the roman styles.
The following are guides on how to set the typography for different bodies of text. Observe contrast & visual hierarchy so the text is organized & read smoothly.

Sample Application
The following are samples of layouts demonstrating the different specifications for the typography in different use cases. Leading refers to the vertical space between lines of text, while Tracking is the horizontal spacing between letters or how far apart each individual letter is from each other.
Aim for contrast in terms of text size: Title is 72pt, Subtitle is 27pt, small text are 9pt.
Spacing & Alignment
The first line of the Title ("Business") and the first line of the subtitle ("A Beginner's Guide in") are aligned
0.8 line spacing for the Title, single line spacing for the subtitle.
Color
Cream or white font color against the blue background for contrast.
Black font color against the cream background for contrast.

The recommended smallest font size for body text is 18pt, single spaced Line & paragraph spacing. If the copy exceeds the page while maintaining this font size and setting, it would be best to divide the text into smaller chunks across different slides.
To not tire the reader with long small texts across a page, we recommend the following for the text grid:
Create a text column that's approximately 2/3rds of the space within the margins.
See p.3 in Presentation Sample
When dealing with a larger body of text like bullets, a 2-column text grid can also be used.
