UPDATE: this is happening for all files.
When I try to update the attached file to Bravura (which I thought it already was), I get this:

Have you created/used any custom noteheads?
The project opened with normal noteheads for me, until I went to Library > Music Fonts… , Bravura , OK. Then they all changed to as in your picture.
When I selected all and then Edit > Notations > Notehead > Reset to Default Notehead, that seemed to fix the problem.
If you’re on Windows, maybe a restart to (hopefully) fix any font cache problems.
Another method which also seemed to work was changing to another font in Library > Music Fonts… (OK’ing the choice and then re-opening the dialog) and then changing back to Bravura.
I opened your file Dan, it looks fine on my macOS running Dorico v4.3.30.1132.
Another workaround would be to make a new empty score, and export the library for example as Bravura_default.doricolib then open your faulty score and load/apply the .doricolib file. At least this will turn everything to default.
As it did on my Mac, also running Dorico v4.3.30.1132, until I went to Library > Music Fonts… and clicked on OK.
It opened OK for me without going to Library > Music Fonts… Weird!
Right, that’s what he meant. Me too. The file looks fine until I explicitly reset it to Bravura. Not sure what I did originally to cause it…
OT: It still is astonishingly readable.
That was was I thought too!!! Kinda elegant.
BTW, this notation is occasionally used in French baroque music. For example here in Charpentier.
It’s your Larger Notehead set.
Your Half note head is set for use with durations shorter than and equal to half a note.
If it’s happening for all files, you’ve saved it as your default!
There is a weird thing where Dorico doesn’t actually follow Notehead customizations until you re-apply the Music Font. For instance, new documents using Sebastian use Bravura’s stem positions until you set the font again.
NB: Also “pened” should be on the beat in the penultimate bar.
