I cannot stand the new default system typography "HelveticaNeueDeskInterface". Huge emphasis on HATE. Wish I knew who at Apple to direct my rage. Luckily, I am not the only one and someone found a work around. While the article uses some extreme and ugly substitutions I have been successful and very happy with using these as replacements:
I played with a number of Sans Serif and Humanist Sans fonts including Univers, Avenir, Grotesque, Frutiger, Vectora. My second favorite was Museo which oddly enough is the official marketing font of Dell (gasp). Anyway, I was able to enable and disable it quickly (literally drop and drag and restart) and without issue. The only quirk that I have observed is that the system battery percentage (I work with a MBP) and date/time are shifted up.
