Tangential but for my information, does anyone else find this article's thin font takes noticeably more effort to read? I'm not sure if it's just me (I might need to get a better display that can output more nits in this bright room) since the site owners apparently think it's good

Not just you. The font is absolutely too thin to be used for body text.

It might be more readable on low-res screens that hint the strokes to a full pixel width, but on Retina screens it's simply too hard to read.

Thin weights like that are meant for display uses (titles, posters, etc.), not body text.
