That's not font fatigue. That means the font designers did their job.
You're not supposed to be able to tell if a font is new or not (unless you work as a typographer or graphics designer)
You should ask yourself: is the text legible, does it make reading easier? Does it add a bit of visual interest or flatten visual interest (ie fades into the background) depending on what the design calls for?
Those are the important questions. As to whether a font is new or not, if you are a typographer, then that is your bread and butter. I had a friend who's a typographer and they would be able to point out all the ways Helvetica is different from Helvetica Neue (and talk about it for hours and days on end), for example:
