Letter Height : Visibility Chart

Our designers are quite diligent about checking letter visibility regulations and recommendations before submitting proofs - especially if it is for an address sign where unique municipal laws come into play.

While there is no universal legislation for the size of letters on an address sign, it is certainly an important consideration since your guests and (perhaps more importantly) emergency services will need to find you with ease!

To give you a better idea of how large letters on a sign should typically be, we refer to a study conducted by the Pennsylvania Transportation Institute, Penn State University and the United States Sign Council (USSC).

Viewing Distance
Minimum Required Letter Height
100 ft
4”
250 ft
10”
360 ft (city block)
16”
500 ft
22”
750 ft
33”
1000 ft
43”
1320 ft (1/4 mile)
57”

So, now you know! For most house signs, 4" - 10" will be plenty, I mean who need their address visible from a 1/4 mile away!? But this is likely not the case if you are a business owner looking to make a BIG statement.

The above is based on naturally lit signage featuring Helvetica letters, and it is cautioned that color scheme, font selection and weather will all effect how precise the above information is.

If you have any questions about your next house or business signage project, give our design experts a call! We'd be happy to answer your questions and guide you through the process - we are experts in our field, and we love it when readers like you, reach out to us!

CONSAC 2013


The Sign Association of Canada’s National Tradeshow attracted delegates from all over the world to see the latest and greatest the Canadian sign industry has to offer. From the latest technologies in high definition printing, to the most advanced digital signage solutions on the market, CONSAC Image Makers was an exciting and educational experience. MultiCam Canada was proud to attend once again, showcasing our Digital Express Knife Cutter and our Classic Series CNC Router. Along with our partners at SAI Software and the Drafting Clinic, MultiCam showcased the Classic Series Router’s precision 3D cutting capabilities. Cutting in to 1 inch sign board, the Classic Series Router created beautiful 3D images and name plates with EnRoute’s Rapid Texture application. Attendees visiting the MultiCam booth were impressed by the incredible speed of our Digital Express Knife Cutter, with rapid traverse speeds up to 7000 IPM, with some lucky youngsters walking away with a Sponge Bob or Iron Man cutout.

Thank you to everyone who came out to CONSAC and visited the MultiCam booth. It was a great experience interacting with all the attendees at the show, be they experienced CNC machine users, interested in becoming CNC owners, or just generally curious about what the noise was all about. MultiCam Canada will certainly be looking forward to the next Sign Association Trade Show!
