Yes... like Volkhov or Futura. I might check out Old Bookman if it's freely available; and I would hope for it to be supporting Unicode, instead of being restricted to Western European alphabets like the other two. I also very much like the distinctive Arvo font in Marvin, but again, it only supports Western European letters.
It would be interesting to find out if that sequential "thickening" of font faces is a unique feature of Kobo e-ink readers (I hazily remember having read something to that effect!) -- maybe the effect is
impossible to achieve on LCD/IPS/Amoled screens? When I launch the lamentable Kobo app here on the iPad, no such font thickness adjustments are possible -- they might only be restricted to Kobo's e-ink screens?
