When cax is an axes instance of the colorbar, you may use
cax.tick_params(labelsize=8)
If you want to directly set the FontProperties, you need to iterate
over the ticks (it seems that tick_params does not support this).
for tick in cax.yaxis.majorTicks:
tick.label2.set_fontproperties(fp)
Note that the details depends on the current colorbar setup
(orientation etc.). The bottom line is that cax can be treated as a
normal axes.
