If you get linked externally (which is most of LW’s traffic), you don’t know the title (and also generally are less oriented on the page, so it helps to have a very clear information hierarchy).
I do also agree the font is very large. I made an intentionally bold choice here for a strong stylistic effect. I do think it’s pretty intense and it might be the wrong choice, but I currently like it aesthetically a bunch.
On desktop the title font is jarringly huge. I already know the title from the front page, no need to scream it at me.
