Small Print Has a Lot of Holes on the Top Surface

Fix My Print

I'm a beginner at all this, and I just got a Sparkx i7 a couple of weeks ago. I'm trying to print a life buoy with small extruded text on the top of the surface. From a distance, it looks fine, but when I take a closer look, there are a ton of small holes peeking through the top surface. I'm using elegoo pla filament. The PLA settings are the generic ones on the Creality printer. I don't know if it's my filament settings or the print settings.

Here are the print settings I am using:

Printer Model: Sparkx i7

Slicer: Creality Slicer

Filament: ELEGOO PLA

Nozzle: Standard 0.4

Nozzle and Bed Temp:
