My 16x16 will have large letters, you should try it as soon as I can post it... it's nearly ready for testing round 2. I expect to have a usable 16x16 font by Wednesday, and a polished 16x16 font by the weekend.

As great as a giant tileset would be, there is the issue where the display is hardcoded to have 80 tiles across- In other words, if you make big (number of pixel-wise) tiles you'll have to up the resolution and it's just as hard to see in the end.

A tileset that's smaller (number of pixel-wise) might actually be easier to make out, as each pixel would be bigger (if you still stretched all 80 tiles across the screen).

You could stick with the default "Curses 640x300" font if you fiddle around with the resolution in the init.txt file:

[WINDOWED:YES]

This is the size and font for windowed mode.  Changing to 800x600 and the 800x600 font might make you happier.

[WINDOWEDX:1280]
[WINDOWEDY:600]
[FONT:curses_640x300.bmp]
