As far as I know, the theme was created to demonstrate the cleaned up font system

> As a proof of concept, I created a “large fonts” theme available in the hamburger menu here on Meta. This theme consists of a single line of CSS: html {font-size: 16px !important;} (our default is 14px). You’ll see some small issues with margins in the header/nav (which should be easy to overcome in a full theme with a few additional lines of CSS), but overall scaling fonts should now be significantly easier.

So you can create a child-theme and only increase the html font-size and the rest is pretty much automatic.
