Description

The typeface Source Sans (Pro) was introduced more than 5 years ago to "improve readability in the backend":
https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/54063

Still until today this typeface is in use more or less for H1-headlines only .
(Actually as of TYPO3 main it is additionally in use for .dropdown-headline and .widet-content-title of the dashboard-widget: see search for 'typo3-header-font-family' .

In case for readability system typefaces are clearer, nicer and better to read than ever.
And System typefaces are already in use in all the other places of the backend:

// Typography
$font-family-sans-serif: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

How about completely dropping the typeface Source Sans?
