Use the Venus® Font Size Calculator

Determine the Size of Your Font

We've created a handy tool for Venus® operators. The Font Size Calculator will help you create better messages. Correct font size is critical to your content's success. Text should be large enough for customers to read in 3 to 4 seconds.

 

Two important questions to give you a general idea of what size font works best:

  • What is the viewing distance from display to audience?
  • At what speed does the audience pass your facility?

When you know what works best, choose that size font to create content. Then use the Font Size Calculator to make sure the size it'll be on the display is what you want.

A Few Points to Remember

  • The calculator works for Venus Font Sans Serif only.
  • Line spacing and character spacing aren't taken into account.
  • The calculator cannot work with True Type font.
  • To know a True Type font size, compare it to a Sans Serif font.
  • The calculations are an estimate.
