4 months ago I suspect that's because you're used to using a relatively small screen (looks like it from the screenshot), and VGUI components have a fixed size regardless of screen size. Thus the console takes up a relatively large part of your screen, and the font appears larger. On a larger screen, the VGUI console font can look overly small.
Personally I think the larger font size looks a lot worse, but it's probably mostly screen-dependent. On a 1920x1080 screen (by far the most common resolution according to Steam HW) it looks very reasonable to me, could maybe be increased to 12pt.
Anyway, if you want it significantly larger, modify the font-size in &__message-target > MultiselectLabel in styles/pages/console.scss (at least that's where it is in Momentum). Also this isn't an engine issue, this is set by game-specific Panorama files.
What would this enhancement be for?
UI/UX
Describe your enhancement suggestion in more detail
When running the game from Hammer, a developer console opens with it (presumably a vgui leftover). However, that console is far more readable and accessible than the main one, especially with regards to font size. It'd be great if the default font size for the console could be increased.
Left: main, toggleable console. Right: old console, more readable
