Mac font rendering is the worst out there.

When i look at the first picture the Mac is blurrier but at same time the Windows doesnt keep the balance of the font. Look at all the horizontal vs verzical strokes in ZLF they are for sure drawn to be same optically thickness but on windows they are very wrong.

I dont think windows is such clear winner here. Seems like different philosophies.

Just hold the phone at some distance, you will see how bad MacOS'es one is in reality.

You don’t see the obvious artifacts?

Forget the font rendering, it looks like a poorly tuned scaling filter with excessive ringing is being applied in the macOS case. That halo around the letters is the result of a sharpening or bicubic+ resampling filter that's turned up too high.
