Business cards are important for marketing and promoting a company or even a person's skills. They come in different designs, depending on the niche and industry of the company or person it represents. One can certainly express his or her creativity on a business card while ensuring that the contact information on the card is legible. It is very important that the text is readable because if not, you will not achieve the purpose of your business card. There are so many fonts you can choose for your business cards. But you have to make sure that, in addition to choosing the right type, you also think about how to put it on your business card. Position and layout are also important, especially when we talk about spacing. Space is also important to get a business card that is easy to read. So, here are some tips on how to use your business card type to make it readable.

1. Use the correct font size: Using the correct font size, your name must be larger than the rest of the text so that it attracts attention and is easier to read. Try a 12 point or larger font. You can also try smaller points, just make sure it's readable when printed. It may appear large on your computer screen, but will appear smaller when printed. You can also have a test print so that you can check the font sizes and if they are readable.

2. Use adequate spacing. Spacing is also important in creating a readable business card. There must be enough space from one line of text to the next. You should also choose a font style that has plenty of space between each letter. Don't use font styles where parts of letters touch each other. This may cause confusion for some people. Remember, your goal is to let readers know your contact information. It must be clear and understandable.

3. Choose the appropriate color. Color is an important factor in creating a business card, especially if you are working on its readability. Choose a text that won't overwhelm your text, but will highlight its background. Use contrasting colors for background and text. You can also try giving your text a colorful outline to make it easier to read. Be sure to use the right combination.

4. Don’t overemphasize your type: Don’t use too many font styles. You can combine at least two to three fonts. If you do too much, it becomes less readable and can even feel heavy on the eyes. So, keep it simple. You can still be artistic with other elements of your business card, but keep it simple with your font style. Some people find it difficult to read such a stylized and decorative font.

5. Match the font style to the theme. Image: Daily Poetics You can choose a theme for your business card. If you've already done this, make sure the font style you use matches the overall theme so that it looks cohesive. Think about what message you want your customers to get, and then you can choose the right font. Depending on the theme of your business card, this can also make a lasting impression on your customers.

6. Make good use of your space. You can use the entire space or leave a lot of space. When it comes to space, go to extremes. You can leave a huge empty space and place only minimal text and elements. But you can also fill the entire space with large fonts. Use space efficiently to convey information and ensure the text within it is readable.

7. Use bold to highlight text. Certain parts of your business card can be highlighted in bold. It will be a big advantage for you to do that. But don't use bold for all text. Choose only those that require emphasis, such as a name or company name. Use bold to make some text stand out from other text.

8. Consider type hierarchy. Pictures: Even on your business card, you should be able to show which part of your card is more important. Of course, everything in it is important, but you should make sure that when your customers look at it, they can immediately see the text that should be emphasized, namely your name and company name. At the same time, your contact information should also follow a hierarchical structure.

9. Use sans serifs and serifs for a formal look. If you want your business card to look formal and professional, you can use sans-serif and serif. Combine the two and you won't fail to get the look you want. You can use sans serif for the more important parts and serif for the rest of the text. This can help you get a professional and formal look.

10. Get interesting business cards. While keeping readability in mind, you can get business cards that look interesting with handwriting, calligraphy, script, and decorative fonts. Note that even if you use these font types, the text will still be readable. It's useless if you've built an interesting identity but can't tell people what your contact information is because your text isn't readable.
