Character height is the whole decision on a stamp set. It has to suit the part being marked and it has to remain readable after the surface is finished, cleaned or painted, which is what pushes most marking towards a larger character than looks necessary on the bench. Marking that has to survive a service life is read at a distance rather than at the bench.
A character too small for the part disappears into the surface texture. A character too large for the part distorts the metal round it, which on a thin section is enough to matter structurally as well as visually. Reading the part before the set is what settles it.
The heights held run 1/8 inch, 3/16 inch and 1/4 inch on the Draper sets and 2.5mm and 8mm on the Sealey punch sets. Those two ladders overlap at the small end and the Sealey 8mm sits well above anything in the imperial range. Height is stated per set rather than being judged from the photograph of the case.
Letters and numbers are sold as separate sets and as combined 36 piece sets. A combined set covers marking that mixes both, which most part and asset marking does. High carbon steel is what lets a stamp be struck repeatedly without the face rolling.
