It's poor anti-aliasing which is a known issue with Caspar, particularly when it's not rendering using a dedicated GPU. Each aston/graphic is in fact a webpage with animation - OpenMedia talks to BigTed, BigTed talks to Caspar and generates a running order within it and each graphic is effectively a webpage that is then keyed over the output.
If the Caspar box is just a small computer running as a server, without a dedicated GPU (even something low end) the smoothing would be better, but if it runs on an iGPU everything looks a little bit off. It's certainly better than the ancient Aston Motifs/Mottos/Greens that they were using before but put against Network's Viz setup, or the newer Overdrive setup you can notice a rendering quality issue (the new Ross system has dedicated outputs and graphics hardware built in).
