Applications must be readily legible.  In an effort to include

also be returned without review.  The type must not exceed 15
characters  per inch.  If the type used varies in the
characters per inch (i.e., a different spacing for each
letter), the range of characters per inch should not exceed 15.
In addition, the type should not be reduced in height, but
should be the standard size, which is in the 10 to 12 point
range (approximately 1/8 inch for capital letters).
