Equity
MB Type · Matthew Butterick
A text serif from Matthew Butterick, designed specifically for legal and academic documents where clarity at small sizes is the primary concern.
About
Equity is built for long-form reading in professional and legal contexts, with proportions and spacing tuned for the kind of dense, small-print documents common in law and academia. It sits in a tradition of transitional serifs but is shaped by practical constraints rather than historical revival. MB Type packages it for workaday document use, making it a rare serif that genuinely serves its intended purpose rather than approximating it.
Classification
