It would help if you could add a link to the instructions that you followed to create those tiles - that people will know what tools to give advice about.

The font size comes from the style file osm.xml. This includes several lines on the form "<textsymbolizer name="name" fontset_name="bold-fonts" size="11"/>". You can edit the size parameter in the wanted areas to generate a new style with other font sizes.
