Backlit channel signs FAQ

How to determine the right backlit channel signs size?

Letters height matters! It’s an often overlooked aspect of creating custom signs, but the letter height is one of the most important features to consider when designing a sign. It will determine from how far away your message can be read, lettering that is too small or too big will affect how the quality of your sign.
In our experience, there is a roughly proportional relationship between the letters height and the best visible distances, generally 10 to 12 times. For example, a 10 inches height signs can be distinguished well from a distance of about 100 inches to 120 inches. So choose a fittest visible distances based on your request, then you will know how height your signs should be.

What's the best fonts for backlit channel signs?

In fact we care more about the minimum stroke width than the fonts, which is the Min. distance between the two edges of a stroke, measured perpendicular to the stroke center line. We need the backlit channel signs' minimum width of the strokes reach 10mm(0.39"), else we will have not enough space to place the LED in the signs shell, and if it is too small we even can not produce the 3D signs shell.
As long as the minimum stroke width requirements are met, then you can choose the fonts according to your personal preferences.
If you prioritize readability, then sans serif fonts that are thick like Helvetica or Arial will maximize your 3D LED backlit signs' visibility. Recently, a number of luxury brand logo upgrades, such as YSL, Burberry, Berluti, are all finally chosen to use sans-serif fonts.
If you need your signs have some special style, then you can see the scrip fonts, cursive fonts, thin, decorative font styles, and serif-style fonts, though they might difficult to read or see from a distance, they have rich style.
BTW, the spacing of 3D LED backlit signs is crucial for readability. Designers call the spacing as "kerning". Too big or too close kerning all will create visibility issues.
