There is a much easier way to do without adding the CSS files and all the other methods suggested  But you have to do it every time you start the Jupiter notebook  Go to inspect in your browser and click on the element selection icon and then click on the box  And at the bottom of the page  you will be seeing the styling option for CSS where you can easily change the font-size

I would also suggest that you explore the options offered by the jupyter themer  For more modest interface changes you may be satisfied with running the syntax   jupyter-themer  -c COLOR  --color COLOR                         -l LAYOUT  --layout LAYOUT                         -t TYPOGRAPHY  --typography TYPOGRAPHY    where the options offered by themer would provide you with a less onerous way of making some changes in to the look of Jupyter Notebook  Naturally  you may still to prefer edit the  css files if the changes you want to apply are elaborate
