Check out this redesign

Am I missing something? I don't see any noticeable difference between this and the current design.

It's now harder to read

I find it immensely more readable than the current design, which to me is a left-justified wall of dense, unnavigable text. The low-contrast colors of the secondary information make it hard to pick out information quickly and increase eye strain.

Schooled designers are very sensitive to fonts. While he sees a world of difference because of that font change, you might see almost the same design. Because they study them deeply. They see them from another perspective, more like the story behind them. I've worked with many designers from Art Center in Pasadena and this has happened to me many times, where I need to make a further effort to understand them, and viceversa.

The changes are subtle, but they are noticeable. Enough to be visually appealing, yet keep the practical design.
