Hi, MC.

Thanks for your interest in the NIV Compact Thinline In Lavender. The font size of this Bible is 7.5 point. The print size in the NIV popular Bible is about font size 9. In general, any Bible described as compact or pocket will have a font size of 6 to 7. Any hardback or personal will have a font size of 8 to 9. Thinline compact Bibles have taller wider pages and are thinner, but generally manage slightly larger fonts - upto 8. Adding extras like cross references and concordances reduces the scope for larger fonts in a Bible of the same physical size.

Yours, Les
