I don’t think the system font has changed (from San Francisco).

First thing I would check is General panel in System Preferences. At the bottom there is a checkbox for ‘Use font smoothing when available’. If it is not checked, check it (on my system it was checked; un-checking it thinned the fonts; I am trying to decide if I like it better that way).

If that does not work, see this thread:
