Font size for Company, Title, and Department in macOS Contacts is too small

MacOS 27 Golden Gate font is too small in Contacts.

The display font size in Contacts for Company, Title and Department is so small it is difficult to read. Is there a way to make it bigger? See screenshot.

It does appear small, and unfortunately that is an aspect of the Contacts app user interface that cannot be changed. Nor does the Contacts app allow in-app zoom (unlike Safari and many other apps).


Your only real options are to use the system-wide setting for display scaling or the accessibility functions for zooming.


System-wide setting for display scaling

  • Go to System Settings > Displays
  • Select an option more to the right, towards 'larger text'




Accessibility functions for zooming

  • Go to System Settings > Accessibility > Zoom
  • Select an option to temporarily zoom either the whole display or a picture-in-picture (loupe) option




The UI itself can only be changed by Apple. To have Apple consider your feedback, submit it here:

Apple will not see bug reports posted in these user-to-user forums.


This will place your concern before an Apple employee: Feedback - Contacts - Apple

I meant to ask if others are seeing the same thing, or do I just have a setting incorrect?

But I can reach out directly to Apple.

Thank you.

Yes, small for me, too.
