Does anyone else find this to be quite hard to read? Just visually. Especially length of the lines and thinness of the font.

No. You mean it uses all (well nearly all) the width of the screen? I am pleased to see that for once rather than stuffing it into some narrow column, the width of which I would have complained about 10 years ago.

How big is your screen?

No so big that resizing a window when content is too wide for comfort stops working...

Less facetiously: I wish more pages would give me the choice rather than forcing the content into a fixed-width format unnecessarily, or if they don't mind the extra coding (especially if their design is well thought out enough to make it easy) have a fixed width setting by default with the option to turn it off (I've seen this done by giving the user the option flipping stylesheets via a control at the top of a page) like some support different font size and colour/contrast options.

Here's how to fix it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIeCs8xwEzo

Steps:

1. max-width: 40em on wrapper element

2. font-weight increase from 300 to 400

3. include @font-face rules for Open Sans 400

In chrome I changed the font-weight property to bold and width to 70% for the body tag, if you're curious how I managed to read it ;)

Yes, the site designer could (should) have used the CSS setting `max-width` for paragraphs (specifying `width` for paragraphs is, however, a big no-no in web design).

I do as well.
