React Native normalize font scale

rn-font-scale.js

import { Dimensions, Platform, PixelRatio } from 'react-native';

const {
  width: SCREEN_WIDTH,
  height: SCREEN_HEIGHT,
} = Dimensions.get('window');

// based on iphone 5s's scale
const scale = SCREEN_WIDTH / 320;

export function normalize(size) {
  const newSize = size * scale 
  if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
    return Math.round(PixelRatio.roundToNearestPixel(newSize))
  } else {
    return Math.round(PixelRatio.roundToNearestPixel(newSize)) - 2
  }
}

const styles = {
  text: { fontSize: normalize(24) }
}

What is the -2 doing in android?
