    Best font for large posters...

    I have had a poster made up...black and white, just words and an image...it's for my office window advertising a sunglass frame sale, so I wanted a large, to-the-point poster. The poster came out OK, but I'm wondering for my future reference if anyone can tell me what's the best font for large posters (approx 26x36)?

    PS...BTW I am creating with Word

    Thanks!

    Impact is one I'd use on a big poster.
    My favorite font is hard to find, but it looks like something you'd see on an old Yes album - Argonaut.

    Thanks, "Impact" would be a good one! I looked up a couple of the old "yes" album covers...is the font you are talking about kind of like their "Close to the Edge" cover? If so, that would be a neat font to have!

    Copperplate Gothic Bold

    My personal favorite. A touch of elegance without being ostentatious.
    There are rules. Knowing those are easy. There are exceptions to the rules. Knowing those are easy. Knowing when to use them is slightly less easy. There are exceptions to the exceptions. Knowing those is a little more tricky, and know when to use those is even more so. Our industry is FULL of all of the above.
