This isn't the \huge you are using in markups.

You are probably looking for the definition in
scm/define-markup-commands.scm as

(define-markup-command (huge layout props arg)
  (markup?)
  #:category font
  "Set font size to +2.

@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
\\markup {
  default
  \\hspace #2
  \\huge
  huge
}
@end lilypond"
  (interpret-markup layout (prepend-alist-chain 'font-size 2 props) arg))
