I'm trying to make my own bullets for itemized and enumerated lists. I'm rather surprised that latex has not properly been developed on this point. By default the first level is a round bullet, but if \sfdefault is set it will be a small square. To change it back to the round bullet one has to use $\bullet$. And the second level is --.Using instead \blacksquare does not fit nicely with the size of the previous level.
Here is my mwe: The goal of this post is to get from users nice rounded bullets without excessive size.
