Just change the font to something other than Garamond like Verdana. It is a nice font for paper, but not on websites.

Georgia is a decent serif that will typically be available.

Or just `font-family: serif` which will most commonly be Times New Roman or similar, but will be whatever we prefer for those few of us that set the default fonts.

Georgia is a fantastic serif font; it's actually the recommended default font for when you're formatting an ebook.
It's why I used Georgia as the preferred font for https://shouldiblockads.com/ (mixed with a sans-serif "default UI font" stack).
Or better yet, `font-family: sans-serif;`
Screens have high enough resolution for serifs nowadays, there's no need to strain the eyes with sans serif anymore online.
Yea, I hate seeing this front on blogs. It's so difficult to read.
Noted :)
