  I think the idea to have a light style for big titles is nice and could 
theoretically work, but in our case unfortunately fails in practice :/
  
  The thing is, even if we didn't have a problem with fonts (btw defaults are 
not a guaranteed experience either, e.g. Fedora ships Plasma with "Sans") 
potentially failing, visual hierarchy is still something which doesn't work the 
best with the old code.
  
  Attaching some screenshots from our main competitors for comparison's sake:

  With the exception of the case of the Windows Store (which does nonetheless 
manage to achieve some visual hierarchy with different font sizes and colors), 
others mostly actually have an opposite approach and go the bold/semi-bold 
route for the more prominent titles, which makes sense - you want to highlight 
the information contained in them. But the point of this patch is to just make 
sure the most important information is not made less important or even 
illegible, which is guaranteed if the labels are "regular" style.
