You can always go to the Terminal Settings and change the font size of the text of the console, but if you wish to achieve the same using a command on your shell, you can make use of the AppleScript - osascript command.
All you need to do is run the osascript command and tell to change the Terminal application font size to the size that you want - increase or decrease based on the number you provide,
Examples:
osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to set font size of window 1 to 14'
