A reasonable line length for text on a page of the size 21.5 cm by 28 cm (8.5 by 11 inches) is typically 70 to 80 characters, which roughly translates to about 12 to 16 words. This length is considered optimal for readability, allowing the eye to move comfortably across the page without the line being too short, which would require frequent eye movements, or too long, which could make tracking difficult.
