    The Finder lets you scale the size of the fonts from the View options: Press ⌘J when viewing a Finder Window:

    Many applications have settings for the font sizes in the preferences.

     

    An easy way to enlarge everything is to decrease the resolution of your display:

         System Preferences > Display

    Make the resolution a bit lower and all windows and Fonts will appear larger:
