All DEFAULT Ubuntu Server 20.04.1 LTS installation (without Xorg) + 4k hdmi display = not readable tiny text in the console.

Setting GRUB_GFXMODE in /etc/default/grub (from this answer and similar threads) affects only GRUB black and white console output (on bootup), then it jumps to color loading and login Ubuntu console "color loading and login Ubuntu console".

On the monitor with 1080p maximum resolution text scale is normal.

From Google:

To adjust the font/font-size used for the TTY, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup , which will guide you through the steps to choose a font and font-size...

This is what I get when googling. But I cannot vouch personally for this, as I have never tried it personally. My advice would be to look into the console-setup package.dpkg-reconfigure has a man-page, and is a fairly common command. It is part of the debconf package, and is the same as running sudo dpkg --reconfigure.

I will link the result, to give you a lead into your research. From what I can tell, you will get a prompt menu that walks you through the process, making it fairly straightforward, but I would recommend confirming for yourself. This is meant only to point you in the general direction of the answer.
