How big should the letters be?
The short answer
Plan about 1 inch (25 mm) of letter height for every 10 feet (3 m) your sign has to be read from.
This is the rule of thumb sign makers use. It is a starting point: thin, script or decorative fonts need bigger letters, and good contrast and lighting make any sign easier to read. If the sign is mounted high, measure to where people's eyes are, not to the foot of the wall.
Enter a distance to see the letter height.
| Read from | Letter height for easy reading | Smallest readable |
|---|---|---|
| 10 ft (3 m) | 1 in (25 mm) | 0.5 in (15 mm) |
| 20 ft (6.1 m) | 2 in (50 mm) | 1 in (25 mm) |
