Lettering Size Guide: Height & Length


Height - Lettering size from 30mm (depending on the font) up to 300mm are deemed suitable sizes for DIY application.

Height can be measured as the peak to peak (highest to lowest point) size of your whole lettering or the capital letter size.

For example in lettering like the word "Sign" you may specify that the capital S is 100mm or the peak to peak height is 100mm which is from the top of the "S" to the bottom of the ""g".

Length- Doubling the height will double the length of your lettering in its natural form. For example 200mm high lettering will be twice as long as 100mm high lettering.

Length Restrictions - You will need to think about any length restrictions to your lettering. This may be the length of a window, door or signboard. People can often under estimate how long there lettering will be for a certain height.

This table gives a guide on the length of lettering for 10 uppercase letters in a standard Arial Bold Font. Other fonts will have differing lengths, some will be shorter and some will be longer.
