What is your operating system?

Linux

Web browser and version

Chrome 124.0, Firefox 128.0, Brave 1.16.76

Actual Behavior

Hi.
I like the organization of the new P5js.org site, but I see it "blurred". Jumping to the old one the text is clean and perfectly readable. I tried with multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge) on both Ubuntu 20 and Windows 11, and also on different monitors.

blur

There is something off, like the antialias not working properly: Characters shows spurious artifacts (shadows) and give a bad look to the page.

Is it due to a poor font choice or to my hardware/settings?

Expected Behavior

Possibly change the font.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by inspecting the p5.js website’s typography and reproducing the reported blur on Ubuntu 20 and Windows 11 across Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Edge, using the attached screenshot as reference. Done means confirming the cause and documenting a cross-browser readability fix or a clear hardware/settings explanation.
