How to Make Text Larger on Tumblr
When you create posts on Tumblr, your font appears in a standard size. It's possible to add some formatting, such as bold, italics and strike-throughs, by using the standard tools on the "Add a Post" page. Changing the font size is slightly more complicated. To make text larger on Tumblr, you must use the HTML Source Editor. This option gives you the ability to hand-code your text settings.

Tips & Warnings
The difference in text size shows up in the "Post" box on the "Add a Text Post" page. You can also click "Preview" to test how the change in font size appears on your Tumblr blog.
If you click "HTML" before writing your post, you'll have to hand-code the entry. This means including tags for paragraph breaks, bold text and italics. If you type your entry first, Tumblr codes everything for you.
