I'm more amazed how that page is unreadable, starting from typography up to color scheme.

I personally don't think the typography in the page itself is bad, it's the screenshots (and indeed their color schemes and types) and the lack of vertical rhythm of the whole thing that pose the biggest problems.

the kerning in the screenshots is "hilarious"

Thanks for pointing it out. Aaaaaargh

looks like a version of Comic Sans, possibly http://www.comicneue.com/

or as recently discussed Comic Mono: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25520510 https://dtinth.github.io/comic-mono-font/

Those would be better kerned. This is probably using the default Comic Sans forced to fixed width. Which is predictably bad.
