My feeling exactly. I consider the font to be eyestraining very quickly. The 
size is fine (most websites I tend to zoom to 110% just to read the font; I 
don't need to do that here), but the impact is too low. Please, can you put 
in a new ribbon and retype it so it's dark enough to read? 

Oh, sorry - it just brought me flashbacks of old days... ;-) Seriously though, 
it reminds me of a copy done on a copier running out of toner. 

I can read it but I feel like I need to strain a lot... and it's easy for my 
eyes to get distracted to other parts of the page. I keep finding my eyes 
skipping off the text to other parts of the page... 

The font and size are fine... I just really dislike the low contrast. 

Thanks for listening
