Depends on your agreement, either weak or a splinter. Never asking for a stop.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

I think this would normally be a splinter. If you don't play inverted minors, that hand is a good candidate for splinter (because the only other viable bid is 4C, but that goes past 3NT).

Absent a specific agreement to the contrary (and with an experienced partner), I'd interpret it as a splinter.
