What is a relatively LARGE serif or slab font? [closed]

Question

Please do not downvote without reading the question text. The headline is not as pointless as it may sound.

I'm looking for a serif or slab font that that comes out relatively large.

For example, a sans-serif font that turns out much larger than average fonts at the same pt-size would be Verdana:

All fonts shown at 12pt size

Edit: O.k. apparently the question gets downvoted because I didn't explain why I need this.

I would like a relatively large default font in the standard Windows menus.

However, if I set a relatively large font size, say 11 or 12pt, using Winaero Tweaker for example, then the ribbons in Microsoft Office become ridiculously large:

I have found that the ribbons are at an optimum size if the Windows menu font is set no larger than 9pt:

However, most fonts are so small that then the normal Windows menus in other Programs become tiny.

Therefore, I need a font that, at 9pt size, is as big as an average font at 11pt. I have found this now, for example with Vezus or Sanchez. I did not want to use Verdana because I find it too boring.

Answer 1

This is called x-height. I remember years ago, when the web was smaller I was comparing default Windows fonts and Verdana was the best. Verdana is a bit wider. Check IBM Plex (Mono), it is a good display font. My favorite is Mont but whatever. There are so many fonts at this present day. Looking at Google Font I think Comfortaa can be interesting. Very readable at 12px size.

Answer 2

OK found some:

All fonts at 12pt again.

Vezus is the current winner, size-wize.

I surely love me those slab fonts in menus:

Vezus 9pt

Metronic Slab 10pt

Museo Slab 10pt

Sanchez 10pt
