Yes, and that is affected by choice and weight of font face, font size, letter spacing & kerning, word spacing, hyphenation system, line spacing and how the font is rendered (anti-aliasing, resolution, hinting). Actual contrast of a multi-pixel wide vertical or horizontal stroke is indeed just one aspect of reading ease / perception.
