I want some small fonts to look with no smoothing. Is it possible to disable font smoothing using HTML/CSS?

Yes, it's possible, but not for all browsers.

font-smooth: auto | never | always | <absolute-size> | length | initial | inherit
-webkit-font-smoothing : none | subpixel-antialiased | antialiased

For your case:

font-smooth: never;
-webkit-font-smoothing : none;

UPD(for Chrome): Force Font Smoothing in Chrome on Windows
