Here is the screen grab showing the page that Penguin uses in their eBooks. They embed fonts and that makes the eBook larger for no good reason. It looks worse on an eInk screen. The gray fonts are actually some shade of red and they show much lighter.

Following is the html from an example of that very page that's in the many Penguin/Random House ebooks. If displaying this here is inappropriate, let me know and I'll delete it.
Shift Light is the font. In a lot of cases, though not all, calibre indicates that the embedded Shift family fonts are invalid.
