Document menu > Document Options…

Document Options - Fonts

Notation: Time (Score)

You can set both the font and the font size.
For the Time Signature font, consider the font Engraver Time which was designed specifically for tall time signatures in a score.



By The Way:
In
Document Options - Time Signatures
you can also set the vertical positioning of both the Top Symbol (numerator) and the Bottom Symbol (denominator).
