I downloaded Windows 64-bit with JDK 8 included of SQL Developer 18.1.
To run Oracle SQL Developed I just unzipped the file and run the sqldeveloper.exe contained in the folder.
Unfortunately, as you can see in the image the size of everything is extremely small and very difficult to see.
This issue appears exclusively with this software.
How can I resolve it?

In SQL Developer 2.1, go to Preferences -> Database -> SQL Formatter -> Oracle Formatting, click the Edit button, select Indentation. The Spaces field should be defaulted to 3. Blankout the 3 and reenter it. Save the setting.
You can change any of the fonts in PL/SQL Developer - editor, menus or data grids. In earlier versions, the default system font was Microsoft Sans Serif, and I would always change it to Corbel or Tahoma, but these days PL/SQL Developer comes with the much friendlier Segoe UI.

Try for free now! Yes, there is a way to increase or decrease the font size. Click Tools, select Preferences. Click on Code Editor. Click Fonts.
# To modify the font size for a particular locale under all # look-and-feels, set the Ide.FontSize.<languageID> property. For # example: Ide.FontSize.en=14 Show activity on this post.

I also faced a similar issue when installed this on Windows 10. The issue has to do with compatibility settings.
I have fixed it following the steps given below:
sqldeveloper at your desktopsqldeveloper icon and select Properties.Go to the Compatibility tab:

I guess this is a subjective statement - but that doesn't appear SMALL to me.
However, if you're using an OS accessibility feature to increase the size of text in your applications, the new 'Welcome Page' can interfere with that.
Uncheck 'show on startup' in the Welcome page
Restart SQL Developer.
You should be good.
The Welcome page uses JavaFX to render some HTML and this is apparently getting in the way due to a Java bug. We're looking to mitigate or fix this for a future release.
If that doesn't work, you can also try to actually increase the UI font size.
I talk about how to do that here
This is what it looks like bumped up to font size 14
Find your ide.properties file.
Windows: It's in your OS User's AppData, Roaming, SQL Developer, systemX.Y.Z..., o.sqldeveloper directory where X.Y.Z... represents your version of SQL Developer.
Linux/Mac: It's in your $HOME/.sqldeveloper, systemX.Y.Z, o.sqldeveloper directory.
You’ll notice this file is VERY well documented. There’s a section that speaks to Windows in particular. To change the default size for all look and feels, add this line, the uncommented one:
# To modify the font size for a particular locale under all
# look-and-feels, set the Ide.FontSize.<languageID> property. For
# example:
Ide.FontSize.en=14
