It's most likely a Print font, not one meant to be read on lower DPI like a monitor (or especially e-ink), or at small font sizes.

JSWolf would have a field day with that one. He's a stickler for forced "Publisher Fonts" that have no place in ebooks.
I've read probably most of the threads about publisher's fonts here. I can agree with some aspects, but not others. The thing I do when I start reading a dead-tree book for the first time is look at everything but the story. A book that's designed thoughtfully is a joy to behold.

And for disagreeing sticklers, isn't there a setting in most (all?) readers that prevent publisher's fonts?

Thing is, I find default fonts in many readers too fat, and I really have very poor eyesight.
