Absolutely unacceptable to increase a widget font size to absolutely abnormal levels. Please fix this. Everything is so massive / bulky. 
Just look at the font on the calendar. Font / screen size remain the same before upgrading from One UI 7 to One UI 8. 
**This is a stable release. I'm not part of any beta programs.

That's not a problem. One UI 8 increased the size of the widgets. My font / screen size remains the same as in ONe UI 7.

I'm on the beta one ui8 and everything remained the same as far as widget size for me. I wonder if there's a difference to the stable version?

Not a huge difference, but widget font size was increased slightly from UI7 > UI8. I brought this up in the beta forum when I noticed I could no longer see full event titles in my 2x1 calendar widget.

Well on calendar widget (biggest one) it's a massive difference. Weather is noticeable too. City name no longer fits

I'm going to question the obvious and please don't be offended by the question. You do know you can long press on the widget and resize it, don't you?

Yes I do. In my case all widgets are sized to minimum size they can go. You can even see a disproportion vs my icon sizes

I'm more complaining about width/ bulkiness, just to clarify. It got bigger vs one UI 7. Fonts got increased too. For example City name does not fit anymore fully in the widget after One UI 8 update
