Update the font size to 14sp.

@JaeW Just FYI. @oa2013 had begun with the TextAppearance.Small (14sp) for the sticky notes, but based on the group's suggestion that the font was too small, she changed it to TextAppearance.Medium (18sp). Since the text in the sticky notes probably does not qualify as body text (as opposed to the description in the sandwich project, for example), is it best to leave the font sizes as they are in the app?

@dambadipudi I think the best thing to do is adhere to Material Design. Additionally, when I switch from our app with the 18sp font to, say, gmail which has a default 14sp font the difference in size is jarring. If users want larger they can change the font for ALL apps in the user settings. If we choose not to change the default font back to 14sp, then we should have a way for the user to change the font size within our app since we are not adhering to material design.
