While attending a business meeting, the most common gesture is to exchange business cards. There are many design agencies that offer professional visiting card logo design. However, if the font of the business card is not good enough, it can ruin your efforts.
So, here I am presenting 10 best fonts that are universal and will go well with different types of designs. These fonts are legible even when used in small size and look professional to give your business card design an authoritative appearance.
The idea behind choosing a font:
Suppose you own a manufacturing company. What should your business card font be? Ideally, you should choose a strong font that shows strength and stability. For example, Plasmatica is a strong font.
On the contrary, let’s assume that you own a photography studio. Should your font look strong? No. You can go for light, elegant font such as Ambarella. Unlike brochure fonts, the fonts used in your business cards should represent brand image just like the letterhead font.
So, let’s delve into the font list:
1. Eurocine
If you are looking for a font that is bold, dramatic, and glamorous, Eurocine is the best choice for you. The inspiration behind this font is the 1970s movie posters in Italy.
2. KG Sorry Not Sorry:
Weird name, I know. But the font is not weird at all. According to the designer Kimberly Geswein, KG Sorry Not Sorry, is a fancy yet professional font. The font is written in all caps.
