asked on

font type, point size, readability questions

I am creating a flash card game with question on the front and the answer on the back of each card.

I want the text on the front to be larger, since it will contain less text than the back and it will need to be readable from across the table.

I need to fit as much as 100 characters, with spaces, centered on the outward face of the card.

What's a good font for this? I expect to use Black or dark blue on white to give a strong contrast.


On the backside, I may need as much as 275 characters, with spaces.

What's a good font for this? I will indeed use Black on white to give the strongest contrast ratio.


Thanks

You're making a mock up? Thanks, since I am unsure if you are talking the back or the front...
