Homeri opera vs. Loeb vs. ??

Because many editions printed for the bourgeois German families feature huge print (pneumata almost as big as the letter) no commentary and the translation by Voss.

I made an image, of course, but I cannot upload it. The button only produces brackets (iPad)

If not an image, can you provide a link, or more information. It is rare that I have found any Greek texts with large print.

Let’s see if this works:

I photographed it besides my Loeb Thucydides. But it’s already a bit dark. Not only is the print much larger than Loeb Thucydides, the spaces are also huge and each digit looks black and completely unpixeled. And that is despite having been printed in 1959.

But I, myops as I am, read both with ease, bringing them to my nose, so I might not be a good judge of normal reading experience.

This is the odyssey, but there is an identical edition of the Ilias! The editor of both is:
DR WILHELM KRAUSE
Furthermore it says:
NACH DER SCHULAUSGABE VON PAUL CAUER (After Paul Cauer’s school edition)

These particular ones are without translation or commentary and thus exactly as thin as tome 3 of my Loeb Thucydides (in fact I leaved through it wondering whether it was abridged, but it doesn’t appear to be).
