This indicates that the panel is now showing all the Character Formatting Controls. This includes all the options you need for formatting type. First up, you can change the Font of the text.
And then just below the menu of fonts, or from the drop-down menu next to the font itself in the font list, we can also pick the Weight of the font — such as Bold , Italic , Light, SemiBold , etc. We can adjust the Size of the text from up here too, which is measured out in points, by either selecting a value from the drop-down menu or by manually typing in a size directly into the box.
Click on that and the Controls panel shifts again. This panel has everything you need to use to format a whole paragraph of text.
