TeX Gyre Termes Accessibility Profile

TeX Gyre Termes scores in the excellent accessibility tier, making it well-suited for body text, UI labels, and long-form reading across devices. High-contrast Didones can cause halation for readers with astigmatism. Prefer Garalde or Transitional cuts at text sizes for inclusive readability.

TeX Gyre Termes's Legibility
