CSS definitely the way to go. Do a quick Google search to get to grips with the basic, but it's fairly straightforward.
Two stages:
(1) Look at the source code of your site, and check which style tags you're using most often. For instance, on your homepage, all of your article headers use the class "contentpagetitle", and the article summaries are "contentpaneopen".
(2) Tidy up
your stylesheet, looks like there's a lot of tags there which you're not using. I've not used Joomla before, I suspect there's a way you can edit this through their admin back-end. Focus on the ones that you noted down in step 1 above. So, for instance, your "contentpagetitle" section looks like this:
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">a.contentpagetitle {font-weight:normal;font-family:Verdana;color: #666666;padding-top:2px;}a.contentpagetitle:hover{color: #000000;}</pre>
In a nutshell, this means that all your article titles are Verdana font, with a small gap above them, and a "normal" font style. And when you hover over them, the colour changes to black.
So if, for example, you wanted the article titles to be bold, you could use "font-weight:bold;" instead of "font-weight:normal;". The main thing which seems to be missing from your fonts is consistency in size; there are tags which you could use to make them all the same size (e.g. "font-size" I think, but don't quote me on that)
Again, a Google search for CSS will bring up some decent guides, I can't recommend any off the top of my head but there's plenty out there
