I think Juan rendered his fonts on windows, which favors sharpness at
the cost of distorting the font shapes (they align the curves to the
pixel grid).
Giovanni uses freetype or a similar algorithm which does precise font
rendering (different fonts stay recognizable at small sizes) but looks
more blurry. As a typo-and-mac-fanatic, I prefer this approach :D

Maybe the sharp rendering can be done with freetype by turning font
hinting all the way up (and using fonts with the hinting information
indeed).
