Just go to Edit \ Preferences, and choose the Appearance tab.
You should see a “Font Smoothing” dropdown menu, which you can change to “Light” to make the font smoothing less “fuzzy”. Here’s some example screenshots for your enjoyment:
Font smoothing: Medium (more fuzzy)
Font smoothing: Light (less fuzzy)
Font smoothing: Strong (absurdly fuzzy)
Take your pick! I personally chose Light as my default, and it seems to make a big difference.
