Ok, Peter.
As I can see, you should check again some of your settings that should be as follow
(even if you find that they are ok, try to change them i.e. if something is "off" and off is the right setting, turn it "on" and then back off):
Settings>Display&Brightness>Text Size... at bottom, put it to the middle position.
Settings>Display&Brightness>Bolt text... disabled
Settings>Display&Brightness>Zoom.... standard
Settings>General>Accessibility>Zoom.... disabled
Settings>General>Accessibility>Bigger text.... disabled
When done, force restart your iP8:
Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then, press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo. When it appears, release the Side button, wait for your device to restart, then test it.
Please let me know how it goes
Regards

Hi again Jiulio,
PERFECT - you hit the nail on the head.
Your suggestion - "Settings>Display&Brightness>Text Size... at bottom, put it to the middle position." This was at the middle position, I reduced it by ONE notch, turned the display off & back on - long date format achieved. No reboot required.
I thank you most sincerely for your trouble & resolution to this. (Although minor. it still irritated me!
Thanks again - Peter
There's no way to change it, it's a standard format.
But you should check your zoom and font size settings and set them to normal.
Regards
Giulio
Many thanks Giulio. Checked zoom & font size - both are set to normal.
Don't mention it, Peter. Have a great day.
Giulio
Great day to you as well Giulio. You're a Master.
No, Peter, I'm just a user like yourself 😊.
Glad it helped.
