The right size type depends upon your readership, the typeface you are using, your page layout, even how you print your paper...

Article Abstract:

Typographic legibility is a result of typeface design and is considered a condition or a situation that will not be affected by outside influences. Typographic readability, on the other hand, is a result of the arrangement of letters and is a condition that can be improved. Readability is a function of the typeface design, the typeface size, the line length, the spacing of the phrases, the line spacing and even the surface where the material is printed on.
