The font size is too small.

I was just watching what I believe was a live broadcast of the game and I too noticed the font size seemed a bit small. Any chance we can adjust this? I think it's definitely going to be needed for the console port.

Using a font size that small is a pretentious design. Not practical at all, just look good to the designer him/herself and no one else will appreciate it. A childish design team if I would venture a guess at their maturity.

Font size is perfectly fine for us, but we understand that not everyone might think like that. We'll see what we can do, thanks!

By the way, can you tell us your monitor resolution and size (or dpi)?

I don't currently have the game; I was watching the broadcast video on the store page. I believe it was running at 1080p on my 55" (4K) TV, which is probably 7 or 8 feet from where I was sitting on the couch.

I imagine playing on a desktop is a bit better, but I suspect it's not going to be ideal for lots of gamers. I'll watch the same video or some other videos on my 27" monitor in the next day or two and report back.

I am running it on a 1440p monitor 25inch dual monitor set up on a big table around 90-100cm away from me. There it is ok but could be bigger. You do get tired and start leaning in after a couple of hours.

On a TV 55 inch normal distance. You can not go 4k even on 1080p it is hard to read sitting on the sofa some 3.2m away. For console gaming this needs a text size slider.
Speaking about sharpness and contrast I am using a 2018 LG OLED TV with no direct sunlight.

Yes make font sizes adjustable, the game has a lot of text i really would prefer not to strain my eyes

Larger optional fonts would be great!

I have a 15 in laptop with 1920 by 1080 and find it a little too small given the large amount of reading.

Looking at the trailers, post-release, this seems to be an issue no more.
Legibility seems great, in both character sheets and dialogues.
I'm buying.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

It's been scaled up since EA. I typically need to use at least 125% UI scaling for games nowadays, but Encased's font size and legibility are pleasing.

There is an option to scale the UI size, which also scales the font size.

I'm playing on a 15 inch gaming laptop, and the main middle box text is fine in the size, but I must admit the font size of the far right hand side combat log/event text UI window is tiny.

It would be nice if we could adjust the font size of that element in particular.

Where? I see no setting for this and the font size is quite awful still IMHO. I have Epic version but I doubt it would be a Steam only thing.
