How is the thickened font?

I haven't seen anyone mention this, if they did and I missed it sorry. But I saw on Business Insider of all places that beta 3 changes the font on iOS 7 to a thicker version.

What do you iOS 7 beta 3 users think of it?

It’s, um, well, it’s THICKER.

I like the thicker font personally. I think it improves the readability of a lot of things. I did however change the size from the default down a couple of notches and it fits more info on the screen this way. So in this instance the bolder text is especially great.

I preferred the thinner weight font... now it's looking a bit less "different and new"... more like the old OS...

we should have a choice in settings on font weight...

I'll take 'able to read without straining my eyes' over 'different and new' for newness sake any day.
