If you want it bigger:
Glyph transformer -> Outlines -> Scale
So, starting with thickening...

I'm trying to thicken up the free font Andada. I set the values to 4 & 2 respectively for bolding it, and the result is rather ugly looking. A lot of the subtle curves are now sharp and blocky. Is there an easy way to smooth things back out?
