Tips before you design
- Keep body text at 11pt or larger in print. Many readers are elderly.
- Use script fonts only for one or two short lines. Script names in capitals are hard to read.
- Use dark text on a light background for the order of service, even if the cover is dark.
- Check names with special letters like ɛ and ɔ in the Twi font checker before printing.
