    Uhhhhh...most type over 8-9pt looks horsey, especially for body copy. 90% of type-for-the-masses (newspapers, magazines, fiction) is that small. I still don't understand why people can't realize this.

    I will design something in 8pt type, and my CD, who's older, say something like, "this is nice, but I think the type should be bigger." I ask him why, and he replies that many of the readers are older, like him. I ask him, "Can you read this?" Of course he can. And I always end with something like, then I'm sure the audience can as well. This happens too often.
