Hmm...Anti-aliasin', eh? To be honest, what you have here is...not good. If you're going to be manually anti-aliasing, you need to focus on adding as few colors as possible. That's the advantage manual anti-aliasing will give you over automatically anti-aliased stuff, so you should take advantage of that.

Not to mention, if your script is 1px thick, you should have little reason to anti-alias it in the first place. Try experimenting with different stroke thicknesses, and observing caligraphy to spice up your text a bit! Then your anti-aliasing will become much more important.
Oh, and if you'd like a recommendation for an anti-aliasing reference, I'd highly recommend taking a look at the Mr. Gimmick! title screen, which was really quite smooth for the NES and used two anti-aliasing shades like you did:
