Hey Lindsey,
are you changing the left and right spacing of your text field for the site? (Under widget settings)? If so, that may compress your field for mobile as well.
also, might try containers for your items so that when you switch to mobile view, things stack the way you want them to. I have found for specific parts of the site, this works best.
you also may want to check "max width" for your website. If it's too wide, it will distort when you switch to mobile view and this could potentially be the issue.
i don't think font size should really affect much because it should be mobile reactive.
hope those might help a bit!
