Font size
Make a word or phrase larger or smaller than its text level.
Font size nudges a piece of text above or below the size of its own text level, useful for a lead sentence, a caption, or a word that needs weight.

It's relative, not fixed
Each option is a proportion of the text's own level rather than a fixed size. If you later change that level's size under Style → Typography, text you've adjusted keeps its proportions and moves with it.
That makes Font size the right tool for one word or phrase. To change every piece of text of a kind, change the level's size instead or move the text to a different level.
