Want to shrink/remove theme text in footer but I'm also using a footer widget

Hi everyone,

I am trying to figure out how to remove or shrink the following text in my footer: “Proudly powered by WordPress | Theme: Simppeli by Foxland.” Right now it’s the same size as much of the other text on my website and it’s too overpowering.

Here’s the catch — I am also using the Footer Putter widget for copyright info. That being said, I don’t know what changes to make in footer.php so I can either shrink the “Proudly powered by WordPress” text or remove it completely without causing errors for the widget.

Below is the footer.php code:

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying the footer.
 *
 * Contains the closing of the #content div and all content after
 *
 * @package Simppeli
 */

?>

	</div><!-- #content -->

	<footer id="colophon" class="site-footer" role="contentinfo">
		<div class="site-info">
			<a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'https://www.ads-software.com/', 'simppeli' ) ); ?>"><?php printf( esc_html__( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'simppeli' ), 'WordPress' ); ?></a>
			<span class="sep"> | </span>
			<?php printf( esc_html__( 'Theme: %1$s by %2$s.', 'simppeli' ), 'Simppeli', '<a href="https://foxland.fi/" rel="designer">Foxland</a>' ); ?>
		</div><!-- .site-info -->
	</footer><!-- #colophon -->
</div><!-- #page -->

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

</body>
</html>

Thank you for the help!!
