"Bookman or Bookman Old Style is a serif typeface derived from Old Style Antique and designed by Alexander Phemister in 1858 for Miller and Richard foundry. Several American foundries copied the design, including the Bruce Type Foundry, and issued it under various names. In 1901, Bruce refitted their design, made a few other improvements, and rechristened it Bartlett Oldstyle."
I particularly like this slab serif font, and even more when it is in a bolder form. I feel it appears as a very formal looking, professional font, which commands a lot of respect due to it's individual, solitary standing.
The line weight on the font when bold is a very thick stroke, which follows the letter round to create a weighty font with a strong presence.
