If you use recent version of mpl, the size of the overall legend should scale with the font size. See below,
import matplotlib.font_manager prop = matplotlib.font_manager.FontProperties(size=5) lagend(prop=prop) Just in case, my preference in your case is to move the legend outside of the axes area.
