Project summary For P2 Dark Wood Place Card Serif Readability Test
Dark wood place cards should be approved under table-like lighting on supplier-confirmed decorative blanks, with no food-contact or serving-use assumption.
Why Decorative Reception Tables Fail Without This Check
Fine serif names often look elegant in the design file but become faint on dark grain, especially when venue lighting is warm or low.
Bench Routine For P2 Dark Wood Place Card Serif Readability Test
- Use supplier-confirmed laser-safe decorative wood blanks and keep them separate from food-contact items.
- Mark the longest guest name and the thinnest serif in the set before approving the type size.
- Stand the card at the viewing angle used on the table and check it from a seated distance.
Evidence Table For Decorative Reception Tables
| Check | Passing Evidence | Rework Signal |
|---|---|---|
| Longest name | full name is readable at table distance | thin strokes disappear |
| Wood grain | grain does not hide the serif strokes | dark grain swallows the text |
| Placement | name clears holder, fold, or table number | holder blocks part of the name |
| Use boundary | decorative-only note is saved | sample is treated as food-contact approval |

Buyer FAQ About P2 Dark Wood Place Card Serif Readability Test
Why do serif names need a separate dark-wood test?
Thin strokes can lose contrast against dark grain even when the file looks clean.
What name should I test first?
Use the longest name and the thinnest type treatment in the reception list.
Can these cards touch food?
This workflow does not approve food contact, serving use, or sanitation. Treat the blank as decorative only.
When should the font be changed?
Change it if seated-distance reading fails, if grain hides strokes, or if the holder covers the name.
