The Rule of Sizes
Most people tend to think that just because the dialogue bubbles are big, that you have the unexplainable urge to fill it up. Definitely wrong...
On most cases, scanlators use font 14 or 13 for standard dialogue fonts (resolution of 72)
e.g.
Font 13 text
As you can see... bigger fonts doesn't necessarily translate to better quality. Oftentimes people mistake the size and the scans look more cluttered.
This rule doesn't always apply. There are times when you would want to use bigger fonts for emphasis.
e.g.
Like this picture above me, that's like a "DADADADAAAN!" moment. So you are free to make the font bigger to show emphasis.

Too big fonts (in my opinion)
