I also don't get it. One of the most important rules about good design is consistency, and this one looks noisy and cluttered.
This website does the opposite of what two former fellow students did: In a seminar they held a talk about aesthetics in software development. At the beginning, they told us that they couldn't agree on what makes good aesthetics, so they simply designed their slides with the worst aesthetics they came up with.
However, their slides still contained black-on-white text, upright, in readable size. Moreover, as they continued their presentation, we noticed that all slides had exactly that same "bad" style. They were consistent! Although those students strived for something different, they subconciously applied good common sense and did all important things right. It was good design, after all.
