Hi there,

I wonder if anyone can comment on the size of a font you use for a business card and the font?

I know this can depend on the font... But i have been reading that for the address it should be around 7 point and the name of the person should be one point up .. in this case 8 point.

What about the company name, i presume 10 point?

Can anyone recommend what is the best font / types of fonts to use for business cards, again i know this can depend.

I was thinking along these lines, that serif fonts are great for documents but sans-serif would be better for a modern business card because it is missing the serif.

Futura, verdana, optima and century gothic - anything else?

You trying to get a feel for what is good to get me started

If anyone can comment, i would be really grateful.

Thanks
