The best lead size depends on how you write or draw. A 0.5mm lead is very fine and works best for precise writing such as note-taking or technical work but breaks more easily if you press too hard. A 0.7mm lead is a good, popular, general use option that balances detail with durability. A 0.9mm lead is thicker and more resistant to breaking which makes it a great choice for kids or anyone who writes with a heavier hand. Artists and designers might also use larger lead sizes like 1.3mm for sketching or shading.
