Emacs is actually a real GUI application. It has font sizes, variable width fonts, image display, etc. and with the pGTK backend even native wayland support.
It also has a rendering backend for the terminal, and some people have their reasons for using it, but the default and general advice is to use Emacs in GUI mode.
What is a TUI? I haven’t heard that term before.
ncurses and similar. Think 1980s word processor, emacs, vi, Slackware installer, etc.
