Elements of Typographic Style is one of my favourites too. However, I’d suggest that for web publishing, Butterick’s Practical Typography might be a better guide than Bringhurst, who was primarily focused on print.

I had a look at the website and it looked fine, not my tastes (I like mono fonts), but overall perfectly acceptable.
Perhaps a discussion about the content of the article would be more relevant.
I don’t think there is no reason. The reason is a bad font that most of us have hard time to read. It literally catches the eye and discourages to read tfa.
I think it’s all because of that macos fonts quirk.
If I was posting the article for myself, I would be quite disheartened to spend so many hours and get such direct feedback.
I think its better to leave balanced comment and some positives or not to respond at all. I read the comments and thought to myself oh boy have to check out this site, it must be terrible, which I hardly found to be the case.
I think the issue is with the font size in combination with the font itself. It's terribly small on big screens and the blue color of the text doesn't help either.
Overall, not the greatest example of good web typography.
