One thing to try, chromium recommends fonts-liberation, but doesn't
depend on it.  If you don't have it installed, would you mind adding
it?

Here is an upstream bug about missing fonts-liberation with the
internal pdf viewer, I suppose this could be a more general version of
that problem:

This works well in chromium 62 for me.  Can you provide more info
about the font configuration on your system if its still a problem?

Chromium renders the body text on vox.com poorly. Vertical strokes in
the 'T' and 'e' characters among others are too thick. Changing the text
zoom size makes everything look fine. Attached is a test case and
screenshot.

In Epiphany and Firefox the font used on the site looks fine.
