How to change the font size on a matplotlib plot

How does one change the font size for all elements (ticks, labels, title) on a matplotlib plot? I know how to change the tick label sizes, this is done with: import matplotlib matplotlib.rc('xtick', labelsize=20) matplotlib.rc('ytick', labelsize=20) But how does one change the rest?
From the matplotlib documentation, font = {'family' : 'normal', 'weight' : 'bold', 'size' : 22} matplotlib.rc('font', **font) This sets the font of all items to the font specified by the kwargs object, font. Alternatively, you could also use the rcParams update method as suggested in this answer: matplotlib.rcParams.update({'font.size': 22}) or import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams.update({'font.size': 22}) You can find a full list of available properties on the Customizing matplotlib page.
