Point size for typography in bifold brochure

[Kev Clarke]

Evening Guys,

Just a quickie im importing copy into a bi-fold brochure i have created, this is going in at 9pt, but doesn't look quite right.

Is this too big or small, what do you think?

I quite like using 8pt for copy text in brochures, but it can depend on the font and the rest of the brochure.

I think 9pt is fine (although I try to make it my minimum point size for body text). The only time I've found it doesn't look right is when it doesn't balance properly with more prominent text (titles, headings, etc.).

Depends on font and demographics of audience. For accessibility the point size recommended is 13pt - I tend to use 10 or 11pt. Want people to be able to read the damn thing!
