As I am getting older I really want to switch to a large format desktop calculator with preferably an angled screen. I currently use a fx-991CW but I find I have to pick it up and use it two handed now, less than ideal.
My workflow means I need brackets and ideally I would like square, square root, and exp as well. Any such desktop calculator exist as I am struggling to find one?

I just dug through the offerings of all of the niche calculator manufacturers I can think of and came up empty handed. What I would recommend in your case is the Casio fx-CG50, though. It has rubber pads on the back of the case and enough heft that it doesn't move when placed on a desk and used one-handed. The screen is easily visible from most angles and it has the largest font of all of my graphing calculators.

can you adjust the font size at all, or does it have a single line mode that takes up more of the screen?

You can't increase the font size, but it is larger than the HP Prime and TI nspire CXII on large font.
