'She'd never seen the word bombs blown up to 96 pt. Futura" - Holiday
For those of you unaware, Futura is a font and 96 pt. is a font size. So, this seems to be about a newspaper headline of a war. If you've ever seen old newspapers announcing wars the headlines are always huge. It would make sense because the line proceeding this is "A vegetarian since the invasion, she'd never seen the word bombs." So, this is Ezra's way of saying that this is the first war she had ever experienced. "Blown up" is a play on words because when a word or picture is enlarged one can say it has been "blown up" and the obvious war imagery of having bombs blown up.
