Beamer: Increase square enumerate size when using 14pt font

beamer fonts lists fontsize enumerate

(Since half of the answer comes from Werner's comment I made it CW).

Use

\setbeamertemplate{enumerate item}{%
  \usebeamercolor[bg]{item projected}%
  \raisebox{1.5pt}{\colorbox{bg}{\color{fg}\footnotesize\insertenumlabel}}%
}

Complete MWE

\documentclass[14pt]{beamer}
\useinnertheme{rectangles}
\title{Your Presentation}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Your introduction goes here!
\end{itemize}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item Enum
  \item Enum
  \item Enum
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}

\setbeamertemplate{enumerate item}{%
  \usebeamercolor[bg]{item projected}%
  \raisebox{1.5pt}{\colorbox{bg}{\color{fg}\footnotesize\insertenumlabel}}%
}

\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Your introduction goes here!
\end{itemize}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item Enum
  \item Enum
  \item Enum
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}


\end{document}

I'm using beamer with 14pt and when I use enumerate or itemize it doesn't look just right:

I'd like to have:
- The squares slightly larger
- The squares centered vertically
I have tried to play around with:
```
\setbeamertemplate{enumerate item}
{%
  \hbox{%
    \usebeamerfont*{item projected}%
    \usebeamercolor[bg]{item projected}%
    \vrule width3.25ex height3.85ex depth.4ex%
    \hskip-3.25ex%
    \hbox to3.25ex{%
      \hfil%
      \color{fg}\insertenumlabel%
      \hfil}%
  }%
}
```
which does make the bullet larger but how could I make the \insertnumlabel larger? And how would I center it?

  Why not: \setbeamertemplate{enumerate item} {\usebeamercolor[bg]{item projected}\colorbox{bg}{\color{fg}\insertenumlabel}}?

  That looks good. I settled for \footnotesize\insertnumlabel, the default was too large for my taste. Though, it still doesn't look picture perfect since the box still is too low: i.imgur.com/1GeBPc8.png

  Could you create a minimal working example (MWE) rather than just code snippets?

  Try \setbeamertemplate{enumerate item} {\usebeamercolor[bg]{item projected}\raisebox{1.5pt}{\colorbox{bg}{\color{fg}\footnote‌size\insertenumlabel‌}}}.

  Looks great. Thanks for the help. If you answer the question I can give you points.
