Google is testing using a larger but thinner font for the search results snippets. I am not sure which one I like better, one looks like a normal font, and the thinner one looks a bit fancier.
But I am horrible at these small user interface changes.
This was spotted by Will O'Hara who posted examples on X and also by Shameem Adhikarath who posted on X - here is a GIF of the normal and test font, so you can more easily see the difference:
Here they are as static images:

Google is testing larger, non-bold fonts for titles in the SERP. It has a lighter look, but feels a bit off on mobile. cc: @rustybrick pic.twitter.com/oCEz1s2nxP

Google often tests font style, so this isn't crazy new...
Forum discussion at X.
