is my font too dark?

I switched my templates over to Custom Community and I really like the layout, I’d like to think it comes off as a bit of a webzine-type thing rather than a traditional blog. I selected the ‘darker’ setting, as I get bored with the traditional, black-on-white typeface, but now I’m thinking it might be too dark… thoughts? heres a link:
