Can args be renamed to config so that the naming is the same as the corresponding JavaScript code?

The constructor supports an optional largeFont option but this option missing in args above.

What purpose does @types/node serve as a dependency. I realize that EventEmitter can be found in @types/node but I don't understand why the @types/node devDependency is needed. At what point will @types/node be used?

If you are using node core libraries in a Typescript project you need @types/node otherwise nothing will build. But given in this case it is required as a dev dependency, its inclusion is entirely harmless, since it is only being used during development and testing*. End-users can avoid installing dev dependencies by installing a production build.
Really an npm module with pretensions of taking its place in the modern node ecosystem should have typings as a matter of course.
- unless something in the dependency tree is using it as a mainline dependency, in which case it's going along for the ride willy-nilly. But it's only a few hundred K and you won't see hide nor hair of it in the final transpiled product. It imposes absolutely no runtime penalty whatever.

Firstly - I love this little library and use all the time! 😀
But I am a big TypeScript user and find myself making a new type declarations file for each new project use it in.
It would be great to merge it into the main repo.
I would be happy to maintain this file should the api ever change.
Please consider this as I believe it adds value to a great library!
Thanks again 😄
