What's the smallest type size you'd use on a label? (1 Viewer)

Tina is suggesting I increase the size of the typeface on the club name and city.

These are 4.35px (1.535mm/4.35pt), MohaveBold

Personally, it doesn't look that small to me. Any label designers or dabblers out there willing to give me some feedback here on type size? Also I am now seeing that the type curve is not perfectly round and it's going to drive me crazy if I don't fix it.

If you plan to not die young but rather grow old, the bigger the fonts, the better.

I hope that by the time I need to have larger type faces on my chips, I have a better set lol

I’ll be doing 4.5pt font. Seems fine.

Print it out at real size. Hold it arm's length away. If it's just a blur, it's probably too small.

Yea I did. Seems fine to me. I was surprised that Tina said it was too small considering it’s close in size to many other designs that I’ve seen.

You asked, so my opinion is to never use less than 6 pt. type.

The “Downtown Las Vegas” type is 4.5 pt, but it is an expanded wide typeface so it may be more readable at a smaller size. And all typefaces will be slightly different regarding their point size, so go with what is most readable.

If that's a 39mm chip in the mock up then I would go larger. If you're worried about it taking up too much space then maybe shorten it to Bay Area Rounders Club which I think sounds better anyway

I would go a bit larger, bearing in mind that the printing will never be quite as sharp as what you are seeing onscreen.

If you don’t want it taking up more space around the edge, you could shorten the name to Bay Area Rounders Club. Poker seems redundant; and then your acronym would be BARC.

For the record I beat you by 5 minutes but hey, at least you got the like lol!!

I see that now! Was replying to the original query. Though I’ll still claim credit for noticing the catchy acronym…

 

[ngmcs8203]

I like it. I’ve been calling it Bar PC. Doesn’t really roll off the tongue as easily.

Although the idea really revolved around the name and what the group was: Bay Area Rounders… a Poker Club
