type size

Text display magnitude

Type size is the measurement of printed or displayed text, typically expressed in points.

A 12-point type is standard for body text; headlines run larger, footnotes smaller.

The term applies to both digital fonts and traditional printing: What type size should I use for the résumé?

Increase the type size so it's easier to read.
