Was the font on WaniKani changed? A few days ago, I entered WaniKani, and felt like the font was different. I can’t know for sure though, because I don’t have any pictures from before.  
It’s on Safari on iOS.  
I actually like how it looks, but I’m just curious.

Did anyone else notice a different font?

Given the positive responses we went ahead with the change. The reason for the change is the improved legibility. It can be harder to parse when there are a lot of strokes going on. Enjoy. (The change should go live in like five minutes of this post)
