14 Pt if you are talking about type size.

I should have read the title - I gave you an uninformed answer.

You mean font size?  No, I mean I'll see on a Web site, "All orders printed on 14pt glossy stock."  I didn't know if that was thicker than 12 pt.  I assume so, since it's a bigger number, but you never know.

It will depend on the font you are using.  If you want something thicker, "Bold" it.

Ooh, I like that site.  I was looking for something like that but I guess I kept opening the wrong links, because I couldn't find it.  Thanks again.
