Question
What font size works best for names on badges?
Answer
Names should read from about 6 feet away, so size the first name larger than everything else on the badge. Sans-serif type stays cleanest at a glance.
| Element | Recommended size |
|---|---|
| First name | 28 to 36 pt |
| Last name | 20 to 24 pt |
| Company / title | 12 to 16 pt |
- Use sans-serif fonts like Helvetica, Open Sans, or Montserrat, which stay legible at distance.
- Keep strong contrast between the text and the badge background.
- Leave breathing room around the name so it does not crowd the edges.
