    I've done anywhere from 6.5pt to 10pt. It depends on the typeface, obviously helvetica has a large x-height so is more legible and optically bigger at 8 pt than say, times so it works ok smaller.

    Theres no rules, but I'd say anything bigger than 10pt would look chunky and almost MS Word-ish. Unless you're going huge and making a feature out of it such as the Yauatcha stationery that North did, which is really big Futura.
