Tips for Perfect Letter Size

Ensure Your Sign is Seen

Wondering about the best letter size for your sign? Let’s break it down. Effective signage grabs attention and draws people in, so readability is key, even from a distance. Here are some essential tips to help you make the most out of your windscreens and outdoor signage:

Optimal Letter Size: Make your letters at least 1 inch tall for every 10 feet of viewing distance. For instance, if your sign needs to be seen from 30 feet away, use 3-inch letters.

Sign Visibility Chart: Use the below Sign Visibility Chart for easy reference. It takes the guesswork out of ensuring your signs are easily readable.

Visibility Factors: Consider elements like font style, color, white space, and placement. Bold fonts, high-contrast colors, and ample white space significantly enhance readability.
