Business Card Issues: June 2011- Too Small Font Sizes

I saw a business card from a local hardware store where the font size for the phone number was so small that I literally needed a large magnifying glass to read it, and this is with 20/20 vision. This is completely defeats the primary purpose of having a business card to begin with: to provide important contact information for you and your firm. Using such a small font-size could be espeically bad for clients with poor eyesight and/or who are elderly. Keep the font for the phone numbers at least 12 point sizes, maybe even 14. Another good idea: Keep the phone number clearly separated from the fax number so that client will not call the incorrect number by mistake.
