One example, but this issue refers to the entire new documentation site.

Description

Hi,

I have been trying to adjust to the new documentation site layout.
It's been bugging me for a while now, but I have finally realised what it is that is making it difficult for me to adjust to the new layout.

The new font used is very hard to read.
I changed the font-family css in dev tools to plain sans-serif and whilst its not the same as the previous doc site, its already much easier to read.

Perhaps this could be considered?

Documentation doesn't have to have flash new fonts, it just has to be comfortable to read.

It would certainly make adjusting to the new layout that much easier.

@johncollaros thanks for the feedback. We will share this with bump who hosts our API docs.

Just to confirm. Are the fonts on the following page an issue as well or just the link you shared? https://www.elastic.co/docs/get-started/

Hi @georgewallace ,

The fonts on the link you have sent me are actually fine.
I have modified my description above.
It appears it is only the API docs site that has the font issue.

Everything on this part of the docs site seems to use this new font.

@johncollaros perfect. We will raise this with bump.
