That looks horrific too why is there an enormous amount of space between each letter, word, and line.

The line height is cranked up to 1.75 and font size is derived from the view width:

    calc( 1em + (2 - 1) * ( (100vw - 20em) / ( 100 - 20) ))
Works on mobile (and probably on a vertically oriented monitor) but it's pretty poor on a small and wide laptop screen. Fortunately it's constrained to 2em above a vw of 100em or ultrawide would be very interesting indeed.
The text is enormous on a "standard" 1280px desktop window and very little content fits on the screen due to the vertical spacing.
Seems like it was designed mobile-first. Or mobile-only.
Not so resilient then.
imo that effect is simply due to website being too zoomed-in

if you ctrl-minus a bit, it becomes more bearable
