Which OS/resolution/scaling settings are you using? The size of everything in the OSD should be scaled relative to your system's DPI/scale. Perhaps we're not detecting it correctly.

I am using Windows 10 64-bit with the default (100%) system scaling. I am also using a 2560 x 1440 display.
Here is a screenshot of what the OSD looks like when the game is played at 2x native resolution with window sizing set to automatically adjust window size:

The text is not so small that it's impossible to read, but I think something should be done about the number 0 and 8 looking similar. I captured this screenshot on frame 6,180 to demonstrate that. If the text could be adjusted, I would make the text size about the same size as the in-game text that reads "0:09:05" or "Release the lockdown" in the top corners of the screen.

Here is a screenshot of the same information in the old WX interface. I much prefer the newer user interface, but the text size in the older versions is a lot better for me.

0 and 8 look pretty different to me, it must be hard to tell on the small pixel size of your monitor. Perhaps you should increase the system DPI scaling, as I can imagine text in other applications being hard to read as well. High DPI displays aren't really good for use at 100% scale.

Even when I drag it to my 1920 x 1080 display, the 0 and 8 still look too similar, especially since the 0 has a dot in the middle. I don't have any problems reading text in other programs or on websites. I've considered setting my windows scaling to 125% but it made other unrelated things look a lot worse. The normal text looks okay, it's good enough. But I often get 0 and 8 confused because they are too small and too similar looking to distinguish easily.

Well the font is just ImGui's built-in. We can't change it right now, as we tried to and ran into a roadblock with ImGui being unable to correctly load most of the fonts we tested. The only thing that can be changed here is the scaling, which is currently only determined by the DPI scale as seen by Qt.

You could force a different scale only for Dolphin using the QT_SCALE_FACTOR variable set via a batch script or something. I'm not sure if adding a separate OSD scale option is worth it.
