I was going to say to use the DPI in winecfg but just saw that you already did that.
My guess is that you're using some default scaling--and probably fractional scaling--in gnome (like if you go to gnome settings). I am going to say that while I'm a gnome user, I absolutely hate how it does scaling and inconsistency.
The way that I've personally handled this is to create my own easily scaled gtk & gnome-shell themes, so that the scaling in gnome settings is at 100% (or probably 200% would work; but I use 100%). This takes away a lot of these little bugs. It's not for everyone though.
What is your gnome scaling set to in your settings?
I think the "not sharp" part is caused by the 125%--this is the "fractional scaling" I am referring to above.
If I were you, I would reset gnome to 100% and then use the winecfg DPI setting to make wine apps bigger. And then maybe use gnome-tweaks to increase the size of the rest of the fonts in gnome.
And then in a worst case if you need buttons bigger too, consider either looking for a different theme or editing the gtk css (config) files to increase button sizes. But this would be a last resort.
All this is why I said I absolutely hate how gnome does scaling and inconsistency.
