Why has a new font been introduced in Confluence which makes it hard to distinguish a and o?

In a recent update to Confluence, the font was changed to a font where the letters a and o are very hard to distinguish. Was that really necessary? It would be very nice to switch back to a font with the "2-story" a instead of a round a which nearly looks like an o. This is also bad from an accessibility perspective as it makes text more difficult to read for people with visual impairments.

Hi @Thomas Muders , not sure folks here can provide an answer. I would definitely recommend providing this feedback via the in-app feedback link under the "?" icon in upper right.
