The hierarchy of sizes account for the distance from which that type will be viewed, as well as the relative importance of that category of signage. Standardising type sizes by using such sizing catergories, maintains typographic consisteny.
GENERAL NOTES:
The height and width of the icons is most often 2.5 times the Cap-Height of the typography.
