The overall tone is practical and traditional, with a hint of typewriter and textbook authority. Its firm serifs and compact stance give it a dependable, matter-of-fact voice that reads as editorial and institutional rather than decorative.

In the sample paragraph the font holds an even typographic color and consistent spacing, staying legible at reading sizes. The serif treatment adds presence without creating high-contrast sparkle, which helps maintain a calm, continuous line flow.
