Take a look at the tput and terminfo man pages.

The terminfo(5) man page will show you that. However,
double-height characters is not one of the capabilities defined
by terminfo.

Where those capabilities exist such as on xterm, it's very
specific. You have to send the upper half and then the lower
half.

To display a big line of text for instance:

doubleh() (
IFS=" "
printf '\033#3%s\r\n\033#4%s\n' "$*" "$*"
)

You'll find the details in the ctlseqs.ms file in the source
distribution of xterm.
