The equation editor, presumably, works to some kind of paragraph style or template. I want my default equations to use a slightly larger typeface by default.
How do I change the default typeface for equations?

Pages equations are MathML objects embedded in the document. If you select one and change the current font size, the object will respond in size accordingly. Other fonts, depending on their inherent line heights may increase or decrease the equation object size, but will not apply the font characteristics to the equation contents.
I recommend a read of the blahtex translator support which is what converts Equation Editor entries from TeX/LaTeX/MathML syntax to MathML Pages equation objects. There is a link to the blahtex PDF in the following article:

Sorry, I can't see how this is an answer to my question really. That being said, it is very interesting extra knowledge.
I should have put my question in a more straightforward way really. After playing around I found that my question boils down to
"Can I apply a paragraph style to an embedded equation"
That equation object is not body text, so a paragraph style would not work on it.
