Which of these cards is objectively the best?

Paul ALLEN's one, you know it, patrick know it, we all know it.

How do these clowns print the company logo in any goddamn font they choose. No consistency in branding, 0/10
Personally I like Bateman's card the best. Fine ass letterpress action going on in there.

its even got a watermark.
1. Bryce
2. Allen
3. Bateman
4. Patten
5. Whatever the fuck that bottom one says
Bryce is the best.
This thread lacks class. Garuthers.
Batemans' typeface is fucking horrible when it comes to the numbers.
Funny how his character takes so much precision into his card yet he's blinded to the fact that his phone number is a mess.
Paul Allens' card is god tier

>Hating Bateman numbers
Niggas, do you even know what Oldstyle Figures are? You all need to read some more Spiekermann, for gods sake.
Also, why the hell would someone think that Bryce is better? That eggshell texture for the paper and the sans serif font election (specially being condensed) is somehow inconsistent, a Copperplate Gothic like Allen's it's a better choice.

I don't know anything about this, but I enjoy how for the phone numbers on his card, the size and location of the specific digits changes to represent how people phonetically group and emphasize the numbers out loud. Higher/lower pitch is shown by literally making the numbers higher or lower. It doesn't necessarily work, but I like that they tried it.

>Allen's it's a better choice
I wouldn't consider Copperplate for hot foil – especially in such small size – as the small pointy serifs make it all blurry.
I like the texture on Bryce's but you're right, font is meh.
Loving the elzevir numbers on Bateman's and I think he has best font.
That handset printing press embossment thing is nice but, that whole scene is pretty stupid,
>muh font
>muh paper
What font is that on the Allen card? Copperplate? lel
If they really cared so much about their cards they would have gotten someone to make them their own font and a whole CI and get someone to metal cast them their own typeface, its not like they dont have enough money for that.
Aside from that its just a meme-scene noone should take serious.
how many vice presidents can one company have?

that's the joke
Bryce's card is better than Bateman's and David's because it uses a sans serif typeface
and originally, sans serifs were designed to be used as display fonts so they are the ideal
choice for business cards, therefore using a (non-display) serif font arbitrarily (without a
conscious and justified design decision) is automatically a minus.
But where Bryce's card falls short is the font they used lacks a small-cap character set
you can clearly see that the stem of the capital "T" (first "T" of "Timothy") is visibly
thicker than that of the small-cap "T" (second "T" of "Timothy") which reveals that scaling
was used. And that's almost embarrassing.
I think Paul Allen's card is objectively superior to all because it uses Copperplate EF,
a roman-style serif typeface (yes, it's a serif, but it's a display serif, so it works) designed
in 1901 which has a very authoritarian aesthetic, suitable for a man of his rank — and as
you can see, it has a proper small-cap character set.

Stupidiest thing I have ever heard!! Fatfaces or slab serifs were also made as display typefaces, at about the same time, but it doesn't mean there are the only choice possible for business cards you dumb fuck

As I wrote before, all the small caps here are done by scaling!! Open your eyes!
