Modernize documentation font selection #2627

@vytas7

Description

@vytas7

In #2626, we reverted PyData Sphinx Theme's modernized [in 0.17.x] fonts primarily because it favoured the default OS fonts (system-ui, ui-monospace, etc).
Although it is something I agree with on a philosophical level, in practice it caused very wild variations across the browsers, even on the same desktop. Observed both on Ubuntu Linux and Windows (reported by @CaselIT).

However, we still do want to modernize our font selection for docs.

As @flying-sheep pointed out in the upstream discussion, https://modernfontstacks.com/ is a good resource.
We can probably choose one of their variants, just sans the "system UI" part?
