Freeform is using a Text box which likely restricts its text to 72 dpi when exported to PDF. To arrive at much sharper text, enter text in an external image editor, convert the layer to curves (vector) and then export with transparent background to PNG.


Here is a 300 dpi treatment of text from Affinity Designer 2 that was exported to PNG and then inserted into Freeform on Sonoma 14.3. It was exported to PDF from FreeForm and then enlarged 600 percent in Preview:
