st.table vs st.dataframe font editing

I'm trying to edit the font size of numbers/text displayed in the st.table data element and I'm having zero success. I've looked around on other forums and other people seem to agree that st.dataframe does not allow for such editing but they've been able to do it in st.table but I've had no success. I've tried in-line HTML, obviously css etc and have had no luck other than adding padding to a table which did help with presentability but I cannot figure out how to get control over the actual font size lol. Any help or suggestions / links to posts would be great!

thanks!
