When appearing in the newsfeed, the status should not appear as big bold type

When appearing in the newsfeed, the status should not appear as big bold type. Big bold type make the status stand out like a sore thumb. Such emphasis makes it look like a badly educated user shouting in a forum. It conflicts with my sense of aesthetics.

I believe that the typography of the status in the newsfeed should be configurable. Most applications make it configurable - why shouldn't Facebook's own be ?
