Standard/Popular Fonts to Use in a Business Card

Serif fonts have small lines or strokes at the ends of letters. They are traditional and professional, suitable for many industries. Popular serif fonts include Times New Roman, Georgia, and Garamond

Sans serif fonts do not have the small lines at the ends of letters, making them clean and modern. They are versatile and easy to read. Common sans serif fonts include Helvetica, Arial, and Verdana.

Display fonts are decorative and used for impact. They are best for names or titles but should be used sparingly to avoid clutter. Examples include Lobster and Pacifico.

Best Practices for Business Card Font and Size Design

Prioritize readability and legibility

You can do this by choosing clear fonts and appropriate sizes. Ensure all information is easy to read.

Think about font hierarchy and visual appeal

Create a visual hierarchy by varying font sizes and weights. Highlight important information, such as your name and title, by using larger or bolder fonts.

Use color contrast

Take advantage of different hues to make your text stand out against the background. Dark text on a light background or vice versa works best.

Avoid visual clutter

Keep your design simple and avoid overcrowding your card with too much text or decorative elements. This helps maintain a professional look.

Use white space

White space (or negative space) is the empty area around text and images. Using white space effectively can enhance readability and make your card look clean and organized.
