thank you for the feedback, yeah i've been going and trimming a few places where i think my own tendencies have gone a bit too far.
i will also say on accessibility, i recognize the site is a bit too small font in general — and will fix it soon.
Generally probably shouldn’t try to innovate in too many places at once
I would humbly suggest that a reasonable site should assume that the user has set the comfortable font size in the browser, and make all other font sizes in percentages, or using rem units.
