Headings can be anywhere from 25% to 150% larger than your main body font. I don’t recommend dropping below 10pt unless it is for a footnote or a source. Dialing Arial down to 11pt keeps it legible without being overpowering. For example, Arial tends to be a larger font and I find 12pt Arial to be a bit much. However, depending on the font you choose, it may make sense to use 11pt or 13pt. A 12pt font is a good place to start for the main body of your RFI response. When picking your font sizes, be careful that you don’t go too small or too large with them. TNR is considered outdated and, just like a leisure suit, people generally don’t want to look at it.
MICROSOFT SANS SERIF VS ARIAL UPDATE
Sidenote: If you’re still using Times New Roman (TNR) in all your documents, it might be time to update your default font. This doesn’t mean you can’t use serif fonts, but the best place to use them (if you really love a serif font) is in your headings. Examples of sans-serif fonts include: Arial, Calibri, Helvetica, Tahoma, and Verdana.
What does this mean for you? For the main text of your RFI template, stick with using a sans-serif font.
This especially bears out in electronic media as sans-serif fonts are supposed to be easier to read on a screen. Why should you care? Well there is research showing that sans-serif fonts are easier on the eyes and increase reading speed and comprehension by as much as 25%. Sans-serif fonts nix the flourishes and have clean lines. What the heck am I talking about? Serif fonts include decorative little flourishes or “feet,” as they are sometimes called, and hearken back to “ye olde” word processing days when Times New Roman was THE font to use. Google just introduced their new logo this week and they’ve made a significant change, switching from a serif font to a sans-serif font. But in the interest of not boring you I’m going to stick to a few highlights and then introduce you to the Styles Tool in Microsoft Word. What can be said about fonts? Oh so much. Today we’re going to cover fonts – which, technically is still a part of the look, but it deserves its own post.
