The clear construction and steady rhythm also make it a good choice for academic materials, reports, and other text-forward settings that benefit from a firm but unobtrusive presence.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with a composed, editorial sensibility. Its slab detailing adds a subtle firmness and authority without becoming loud or display-driven, supporting a dependable, slightly traditional voice.
