If I understand correctly, you have a single tiddler, AddressBook,
that you are displaying at startup (by listing that tiddler title in
DefaultTiddlers).  Then, because "AddressBook" is also being used as a
tag on other tiddlers (containing contact information), you are
automatically shown the "tagging:" list of tiddlers (i.e., a list of
contacts).

You can adjust the font size used to display this list by adding a CSS
rule to your StyleSheet, like this:
   .tagging { font-size:200%; }

As another option, rather than viewing the AddressBook tiddler, you
could create your own custom list display in a new tiddler (e.g.,
[[ContactList]]), containing something like:
   @@font-size:200%;<<list filter [tag[AddressBook]]>>@@
The "inline CSS" format surrounding the <<list ...>> macro renders the
output (e.g., the list of tiddlers tagged with "AddressBook") as
larger-font bullet items shown in the main tiddler content viewing
area.

You could also use a "CSS wrapper" syntax to enlarge the font-size, by
adding your own custom rule to the StyleSheet:
   .contactList { font-size:200%; }
which you would then use in your content, like this:
   {{contactList{<<list filter [tag[AddressBook]]}}}

handy tips:

* To learn which CSS classes are used for various parts of a tiddler,
look at the contents of ViewTemplate.  Most elements defined in the
template have a class="..." attribute that is applied to that part of
the tiddler display for every tiddler that is shown in the story
column.

* Similarly, the CSS classes that are used the various parts of the
TiddlyWiki page (header, menu, sidebar, etc) are defined in the
PageTemplate tiddler.

* If you have a browser debugging tool installed (e.g., FireBug for
FireFox), then you can use the right-click popup menu to "inspect
element" and discover what classname(s) and the actual CSS rules are
being applied to that specific element.

* a convenient set of commonly used "formatting shortcut" CSS classes
can be found here:
   http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#StyleSheetShortcuts
Just import this tiddler into your document and then add the following
to your StyleSheet:
   [[StyleSheetShortcuts]]
(note: *include* the brackets!).  You can then use any combination of
one or more of the 'shortcut' classnames to format your tiddler
content, for example:
   {{big floatleft{...text...}}}
   {{small right italic{...text...}}}
   etc.
