D&D 5E 5e Creature Decks: All a monster's stats on one card

[InkwellIdeas]

Our latest project is condensing all the stats of a 5e creature onto a trading card and adding a great picture:

5e Creature Decks

Five new decks of creatures. Four from the recently released D&D 5e SRD and at least one deck of all creatures not published in the core 5e monster book.

Thank you for your interest & support!

That font for the Thunderbird is a real eye-strainer. I love Gale Force 9's spell cards, and this is something I would definitely be interested in, but it would be hard to justify with that text.

My opinion is that you need better fonts. I would suggest ditching the two-font setup (Souvenir and Arial Narrow) and stick with weights of a single font (Bold and Normal/Book). If you're absolutely adamant about a narrow or condensed width sans, here are a couple with at least two weights and an italic:

You might also consider a serif with a nice high x-height that makes it very readable at small sizes. For example:

http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Charis-SIL
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/heuristica
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/liberation-serif
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/noto-serif
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/tinos

All those fonts are totally free and licensed for use in commercial products.

While I'm at it, let me also suggest you don't use Algerian as your display font. I suggest something that is at once legible, totally not all-caps, and totally not installed with Microsoft Office. It also should look good with the other font you choose. The display font is going to contribute vastly to "brand identity" so you might even want to spring for a professional font. Here are a few ideas that are free:

Thanks for the feedback. We have switched to a condensed serif for the body text. (And raised the point size for most cards.) Still thinking the algerian over.

I know a lot of people who would be interested in such cards. I'll tell them about this project
