Type Size Is an Editorial Decision
When a designer has to set an object caption in 11-point type so it fits onto a narrow case rail, that is not a graphic design problem. It is an editing problem that was politely handed to the wrong desk.
A label that can only fit at squint scale is simply too long for its furniture. Cut forty words, give the designer their 16-point body size back, and let visitors keep their glasses in their pockets.
