This looks like it has recently changed (could just be me) but I think it used to look like this:
Can it be changed back - bold seems quite jarring? I can see that it makes it stand out but I do prefer the old style.

4This has happened network-wide, not just on beta sites. – Taryn♦ Dec 7 '15 at 18:53

1@bluefeet Intentionally - as in new design? Or bad css released? – Tim Dec 7 '15 at 18:53

This was an intentional change to have the rep be a bit more visible when displayed next to the badge totals. – Taryn♦ Dec 7 '15 at 19:18

2@bluefeet okay, changed to feature-request. – Tim Dec 7 '15 at 19:21

It also used to be quite a bit lighter - the font weight wasn't the only thing that changed. – Undo Dec 7 '15 at 19:30

2========= Enough comments, this is a feature request, upvote for change back ========== – Tim Dec 7 '15 at 19:56

2We have beefier servers and fatter pipes - of course we gotta have more bold! – Shog9 Dec 7 '15 at 21:37

@Shog9 I think you had a different font back then. Now it's kinda hard to read bold numbers like "806" when there's only a pixel of space between them. – Troyen Dec 7 '15 at 21:48

@Shog9 so every 3 years you toggle boldness? – Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask Dec 7 '15 at 21:48

I think the color and the boldness was the same as the color and the boldness of the reputation (still) shown for the users in the questions tabs. – kos Dec 8 '15 at 1:36

@Tim The boldness has been dimmed. – Taryn♦ Dec 8 '15 at 2:23

@bluefeet that looks status completed to me :) much less jarring - thanks! – Tim Dec 8 '15 at 6:39
Well, this is still bold however "dimmed" by making the color lighter:
All in all, fair compromise in my opinion.

@FarhanAnam it's bold here too, but in SO the color is darker indeed. Not black though, so still not terrible. – Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask Dec 8 '15 at 20:25

6-8 of course, @Far. BTW you can ask me anything in the chat, I've got a room there. :-) – Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask Dec 8 '15 at 20:29
