12pt is the default size.

ConTeXt has some weird ideas about how font sizes should work because
of CMR (still better than LaTeX which only supports 10, 11 and 12pt
though), so you might need sometning like
\definebodyfontenvironment[15.5pt] before using that size. Don't ask
me how it works though.
