point size
Typography scaling unit
Point size is the measurement of type height in printing and digital typography, where one point equals 1/72 of an inch.
Body text typically runs 10–12 point; headlines go larger.
The term comes from metal type, where the point measured the physical block, not the letter itself.
Can you bump that up to 14 point? It's hard to read.
