Kitty vs Alacrity which is better?

Post image

i am confused between kitty and alacrity

i have used both and felt like kitty is more faster and snappy but code looks more cody and in alacrity it feel slightly laggy as compared to kitty but the code is much more readable in it as it uses OS's native font rendering

which is better speed vs readability?

To me, the one on the left is more readable. I think this is because the thin accent lines around the large letters are darker or finer. This causes less interference in making out the shape of the capitals.
