Man, think about the needed licenses for that as well.
Nope, it's a MG reader (middle grade). For reasons that elude me, random words throughout the manuscript are in different (many different) fonts. So, a word like "fluffy" will be "FLUFFY" and "happy" will be "HAPPY," and so on--to the tune of at least 75-100 total different font faces.

Literally like that--3x the size, and in a different font. (sigh).

Wolfie, my sweet, I've inquired, oh-so-gently, about the licensing, but thus far, the designer hasn't deigned to return my emails.

Man, wish I'd thought of that!
