Please do discuss the font, why do you think it is bad?

  It's meant to be used in print, and print has bleed. It's too thin, by far, when it is used on screen (or even modern laser printers): see https://www.levien.com/type/cmr/gain.html https://www.levien.com/type/cmr/gain.html

  Don't egg them on.

    Why not? I'm interested because I mostly hear good things about the way LaTeX output looks, and as an amateur font geek I'd like to understand people's objections to it. Sure, it's off topic, but that happens aplenty on HN no?

      Because it's an sorta ironic, off-topic attempt to generate a "vi versus emacs" level argument. Sorry you lack the ability to spot it.

  It's too thin, when I print it the "e" and the "c" becomes indistinguishable, and even on a 4K screen it looks bad. A font I've found with similar aesthetics but without these issues is Charis Sil.
