I think I know what Lennart is aiming at; the characters in that face look a bit "smashed together" in some cases (he mentioned m and n), making some of them slightly hard to separate from each other. But I would not say that it is hard to read. Maybe it is not as super crisp as other faces, but the warning face is not that often used, at least not in my day to day work in Emacs. My guess is that this face is meant to be more visible (not readable) so that you notice these warnings, and I think this bold red face succeeds quite well. With the font effect that Drew has turned on, it looks even better though.
