There are some reasons for this, design and otherwise:
1. It's a very small document with limited space.
2. To look good, the design must contain the usual bits of breathing room
(empty/negative space) as not to look cluttered, which is why I've included
the inkscape logo in the middle instaead of trying to cram more hotkeys in
there
3. A business card can easily be lifted up, using the built-in zoom
function we humans have when we hold things closer to our faces:

4. I'd have to cut out a LOT of key shortcuts to make font much larger, and
would have to remove the Inkscape logo in the middle which presently helps
break up the space. I'd have to cut so many of them out that it would no
longer be a very useful list.

Basically, it's making the best I can out of a bad situation with too many
good ideas. :)

The good news is people from our community on Facebook seem to love it. So
that's encouraging. :)
