Revert IntelliJ IDEA font to pre-2020.1 default font

There is an official comment on the IntelliJ support site, stating the pre-2020.1 defaults per operating system are as follows:

Mac OS: Menlo
Linux: DejaVu Sans Mono
Windows: Consolas
Fallback: Monospaced

I checked the default settings on IDEA version 2019.3 on OSX, and the default font is indeed Menlo, Size 12, Line spacing 1.2.

You can configure it by going to Preferences → Editor → Font

The easiest option is to do Preferences -> Editor -> Color Schema -> Color Scheme Font

And choose "Classic Light". It will revert Font back to Menlo, size 12 and line spacing 1.2
