FOLLOW UP - I did find this for you in Contacts Help:

Temporarily enlarge a phone number to make it easier to see while dialing.

In the Contacts app on your Mac, select a contact.
Click a phone number’s label (such as Work), then choose Show in Large Type.
When you’re done, click anywhere on the screen.

Hello, samos3.

Unfortunately, there are no font size settings to customize in the Contacts app.

But, MacOS has features that make the apps and functions of the Mac more "accessible" to we folks who sometimes need a little assist. One feature is called "Zoom" and it allows you to make the entire screen larger or to enlarge just the area where the pointer is located. Maybe you'll find it helpful. The Zoom feature is located in System Preferences > Accessibility > Zoom.
