Quick answer: the black-ish title is treated here as custom title artwork. Century Schoolbook regular and italic styles are useful visual comparisons, but ABC does not publicly credit those files as the official logo font on the series page.
The official ABC black-ish page is the primary reference for the title artwork. It identifies the series but does not publish a typeface credit. Monotype’s Century Schoolbook listing confirms that Century Schoolbook is a separately licensed commercial family.

What the visual comparison shows
The upright portion of the title has the sturdy, bracketed serifs and readable proportions associated with schoolbook faces. The ending changes posture and rhythm, which is why an italic comparison can help. The television mark also depends on custom spacing, scale, and the hyphen; typing the words in a stock font will not reproduce the complete artwork automatically.
Start with a warm, low-contrast serif, then compare the regular and italic endings at the same cap height. Adjust spacing manually and keep the hyphen visible. Use the show artwork only as a visual reference, not as an asset to trace for a commercial identity.
How to build a responsible inspired design
Type your own title in the regular comparison and check the serif shapes.
Test the final letters in the italic comparison instead of skewing the regular mechanically.
Adjust tracking and baseline in your design software after choosing a licensed font.
Export original wording and artwork that does not suggest ABC endorsement.
License and trademark notes
Century Schoolbook is commercial software, so use a legitimately licensed copy for desktop, web, app, or document embedding as required. The stored CA file has no independently verified source in this audit. The black-ish name and artwork remain protected brand assets regardless of the font license.
Compare the stored files side by side with Compare Fonts, make a transparent PNG, WebP, or SVG in the Font Generator & Logo Text Studio, and inspect names, glyph coverage, and embedding flags with the Font License & Health Checker. Tool output helps with technical review, but the license or readme supplied by the creator remains the authority for permission.
