General design considerations of printed material:
- color is not be the only way of delivering information (helps people with certain kinds of color blindness);
- achieve high contrast between foreground and background colours
- use an easy-to-read font (sans-serif typefaces tend to be more readable and legible)
- font size should be between 12 and 18 pt.
- leading (space between lines of text and should be at least 25 to 30 per cent of the point size.)
- spacing between letters shouldn't be crowded
- a matte or non-glossy finish on the paper cuts down on glare when reading
