Don't you love it when they decide to make books decorative sarcasm as thick
as I can make it.
I have seen particularly in the more recent books information to that fact.
Or Font set in Arial
or some other font.
It is interesting.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] bad font
Last night I was scanning a requested book, and I couldn't figure out why
the scanning was so horrible. I've had difficult scans before, but this was
by far the worst scan I've gotten.
I optimized the settings at least three times, all of which resulted with
different settings, and none of them did well at all. Finally when I got to
the end of the book there was a note that specifically addresses the font.
I've never heard of such a thing, but here's what it said
ABOUT THE TYPE
This book was set in Requiem, a typeface designed by the Hoefler Type
Foundry. It is a modern typeface inspired by inscriptional capitals in
Ludovico Vicentino degli Arrighi's 1523 writing manual, ll modo de temperare
lepenne. An original lowercase, a set of figures, and an italic in the
"chancery" style that Arrighi helped popularize were created to make this
adaptation of a classical design into a complete font family.
