Maybe some fonts do that, but not the default one used on Lemmy. Nor, I suspect, most common web sans serif fonts.
The smaller the font the less noticable, especially with pixelation. But look at the top red line you drew, the F & T are grey pixels and the Q & O are white in the center.
The anti-aliasing there indicates the O and Q are the full pixel in height and the F, T are a half pixel in height.

My main takeaway from that article is that Nautico Crepusculo would be a good album title.
Typography, and design as a whole are such enjoyable things to experience. Even sometimes, when being sold to. But on the whole, I have found I would rather a frightful design and more freedom (and less data snatching), than being up-sold some "fancy" looking thing that's some Bauhaus trash.
That was some sloppy I should be asleep trash. This is an interesting article though, I especially like the part where they show how weight can affect the design of individual characters.
