This is the type of growth experienced by a population that increases at a rate proportional to its size. The larger the population gets, the faster it grows

This sounds like exponential growth. It’s the type of growth you will see in bacterial colonies (for one example) because they grow and multiply so fast.

Answer: This description refers to "exponential growth" — commonly referenced to as the "J-curve" (from the shape of the graph of "exponential growth" of a population—e.g. human population growth; or bacteria growth); like the capital letter, "J" .
