That with its pixel art is styled so beautifully and so hard to read at the same time. Couldn't read it at all. (It's not an eye vision problem, reading pixel fonts just is quite taxing on the brain).

Yeah I started to read the article, went into the CSS, disabled the custom font, and continued reading.

Then I went on HN to read the comments, and found out there is a toggle to get an anti-aliased font…

I went in and just… read it? Don’t see the issue with the thing.

I think it will vary considerably depending on the size, resolution, and quality of your display.

I read on a 16” MacBook Pro. Size and display quality were not an issue.

I could have read it entirely with the aliased font, but it triggered me just enough for me to disable it (I’m doing web dev these days, so it took me ~5s; if it would have taken me more I would not have done it).

Somehow I expected a downvote, but I'm not really clear on why…
