Over the past few hours, I’ve noticed the Meta Branded theme having some cjangss, like an increased border radius on buttons and text fields, etc.

What I don’t like is the font for this

Couldn’t see that on mobile but after changing my browser to show the mobile view I do now. It’s the same one used on the main site, I believe. But yes, I’m not a big fan of it either. On the flip side, the colour is easy to adjust to, it’s not too bright or loud.

I personally love the updated colors and font, but understand they might feel quite different at first. They’re part of the new brand guidelines we’re implementing across the site, so they aren’t open for changes.
That said, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback on the theme. As @Moin mentioned, this update is part of a sequence of planned changes. We might not be able to fix every glitch in the current theme, but all input is super valuable and will help guide other improvements to come!
