TINY system fonts

hi guys,

have transitioned on apple week. bought new macbook pro touch bar... , imac 5k 27" among other things.

theres things like, thread system font sizes.

think tiny... small, , surprises me isn't more spoken about.

girlfriend, 26yrs old , has 20/20 vision has macbook on lap , has arch forwards read whats on screen.

me, 32, near perfect vision, , on imac struggle quite see text. have move closer read , isn't comfy. having big bright monitor close face frequently.

find font sizes bit inconsistent. example, in mail app, read emails can describe having font size of 8px... on other emails, seems more reasonable 11px. (these pixel sizes comparative estimations based on text looks on old 1080p windows pc)

example of small text, copied on files external hardrive... title "copying items" small acceptable... underneath it, says "64gb of 76gb copied" id describe 6px. have space on big monitor... , text isn't making use of it.

i'd love have larger overall font size, without scaling down expensive 5k monitor.

alone this?

 

in apple apps, use command + or command - make font larger or smaller.
