Full justification doesn't work well on the web, especially for short lines, because the spacing between the words is not consistent and the gaps are too large. Flush left, ragged right looks better. (Also, minus sign isn't a replacement for en dash).

As said, just a quick hack with no claims to perfection, but imho an improvement over the original.

Left-align vs justify might be worth retrying, justify won in my 5-second comparison. You're right about en dash; I left the copy entirely untouched because I didn't want to spend more than a few minutes on the whole thing.

While you're at it, the signup-button could use some love, too...
