I'm curious which OS you're using. On Windows, it looks pretty much equally bad to my eyes in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
Taking a screenshot and zooming in with a pixel grid, the 'i' on comedian is antialiased to 3 pixels in total wide, though the 2 on the side are very light. Firefox is 2 pixels wide, but both columns are dark. Chrome is also 2 pixels wide, but the columns are rather lightly colored.
(Windows' native font antialiasing is amazing, I'm sad all apps don't use it...)
Anything of those could be making it legible. I'd rather trust the opinion of somebody with a more standard system, and I doubt the GP is that somebody either.
