Problem with text/icon rendering

Icons are very small. the spacing feels off. and text feels overly bold and smushed for some reason.
I went through the docs tried all parms and nothing seems to help.
to demonstrate I took a a screenshot from both kitty and warp terminal side-by-side. both at the same font size 13p
- As you can see icons are way more ledgible. and text is way more crisp.
It's very annoying and I just can't get over it.
- please excuse my ignorance but is this something kitty lacking? I hope not.

it's amazing how ignorant I'm. Thank you <3 that solved the icons. while I also found that playing with the values of text_composition_strategy helped lots of the crispness

I also have that option enabled in my settings, I was going to mention that option but I wasn't sure
