The following standard type size commands are supported by LaTeX. The table shows the command name and the corresponding actual font size used (in points) with the ‘10pt’, ‘11pt’, and ‘12pt’ document size options, respectively (see Document class options).

Command 10pt 11pt 12pt
\tiny 5 6 6
\scriptsize 7 8 8
\footnotesize 8 9 10
\small 9 10 10.95
\normalsize (default) 10 10.95 12
\large 12 12 14.4
\Large 14.4 14.4 17.28
\LARGE 17.28 17.28 20.74
\huge 20.74 20.74 24.88
\Huge 24.88 24.88 24.88

The commands as listed here are “declaration forms”. The scope of the declaration form lasts until the next type style command or the end of the current group. You can also use the environment form of these commands; for instance, \begin{tiny}...\end{tiny}.
