What Is The Standard Font Size For Bibles

We get this question a lot . In brusque, the deviation is in the size of the letters printed on the pages of the Bible. Unfortunately, in the Bible press business organisation, there is no manufacture standard for what size text is considered small, regular, large or behemothic size. Fifty-fifty within the same publishing house, text size varies for a multifariousness of reasons. For this reason, information technology is very important to question and sympathize exactly what size text yous are ownership.

Why is there a divergence?
The reply to this questions simply comes down to space. The smaller the Bible, the smaller the text will accept to be to fit everything into the smaller pages. Publishers can arrange for this by adding more pages but there is a limit to what is acceptable. People who buy large or behemothic print Bibles don't want to have to carry effectually 2000 page Bibles. Thinline and pocket Bibles generally have the smallest text size so, if you have trouble reading small print, be careful to avoid these types past selecting a larger style Bible.

Which Size is Best for me?
The larger the impress, the larger the Bibles. When you consider font size, you are indirectly considering the physical size of the book itself. Other factors such as paper weight (thickness) as well come up into play but the most important detail is still the size of the type face.

If you talk to Biblica, they claim that their standard impress sizes are:

Small print - vi
Regular impress - 8.iii
Easier-to-Read - 9.75
Large Print - 10 to 12.25
Giant Print - fourteen to 16.five

Giant Print
If you have difficulty seeing then a giant print Bible will be a cracking help. The text in these books range in size from14 to xvi.5 points.

Having said this, Biblica prints their Bibles in a wide range of print sizes ranging from pocket-size print to giant print. Small impress Bibles are in the 6 to viii point range. Regular sized print is in the nine to 10 point range. Large (or larger) impress fonts range from 10 to 13 betoken font and Giant impress is a whopping large 14 to 16.5 points.
