it looks fine to me. i have owned 4-5 of these over the years, and all but one had dark printing like yours. to me that is not a red flag especially when the other aspects of the piece all check out. aside from a bit of wrinkling on yours likely because of the dried leather, it looks to be in great shape. if the leather were worn and scuffed then you wouldn’t expect the printing to be bold. but your leather appears in fine shape.
