It can be hard to find just the right font. Tinos was beating other fonts in legibility, but it was also plainer looking than the competition. One thing I noticed about it was that it seemed to have more space between lines. So I slightly increased the line-height with fonts that looked prettier and got improved legibility. I tried various fonts, often finding something or other wrong with them. PT Serif was looking good for a while, but it had an ugly capital Q. Cormorant Garamond had a Q with a long tail that reached under the next letter. That might look fine when it is always paired with a u, but it doesn't work for the letter Q by itself as an abbreviation for Queen. Crimson Text had faint quotation marks. There are more I could test, but for now, Spectral looks like a good choice. It seems to have a good balance between legibility and prettiness without having any weird looking letters or different sized numbers.
