Asciidoctor PDF has made the switch to Font Awesome 5. What you've shown is just the way the icons look in Font Awesome 5. The style has evolved.

See https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=3Dgallery&q=3Dinfo-circle

If you don't like those icons, you could chose an icon from a different set. Here's an example of a theme file that uses the info icon from Foundation icons instead:

extends:
- default
admonition:
  icon:
    note:
      name: fi-info

Here's the foundation icon list: https://zurb.com/playground/foundation-icon-fonts-3

(You could also just pick a different icon in the Font Awesome set that is less bold).

Cheers,
