the RNIB have these guidlines for printed material:

if you're designing for the hard of sight then obviously the type needs to be pretty large. Otherwise it depends on the typeface and how large its x-height is.
12pt is pretty big for print work, body copy is usually between 10 and 8pt
I find it funny that some people will look at a piece of design and complain the type is too small but that same person won't have any trouble reading a newspaper which will probably have smaller type
