      Checkboxes use relative units and will scale to 
      your font size. By default the checkbox size is 
      set to 1.25em ($md-checkbox-size).

    <div class="md-checkbox" style="font-size:20px">
      <input id="i12" type="checkbox" checked>
      <label for="i12">Scales with font size</label>
    </div>
