Minimum font size for restaurant menu design
Hi there

I'm creating a restaurant's cocktail menu on portrait A4 size, with fold down the middle to render 4.25" x 11" per panel.

What is the suggested minimum font size that I can go with?  Unfrotunately don't have access to a printer, so a little difficult to judge.

Thanks
Aidan

I think it would depend on how many menu items there are.  If there are only 8 or so menu items, you could go with a large font.  (18-20px)  But if there are a bunch of menu items, you will have to use a smaller font.  (and will there be pictures of each menu item?)  The font size will also have to vary with the font that you use...

So can you give us a bit more information?  Thanks!

But i would say, definately dont go any smaller than 12...

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.
