Description
Because they looked odd to many readers, the sans serif types introduced in nineteenth-century England were called Grotesque (Grotesk in German). Designed in 1926, this Grotesque was among the first sans serifs developed for hot metal machine typesetting. The clean Grotesque family features a number of weights with several matching italics and condensed and extended variants. The lighter weights work nicely in short texts; the bolder styles are excellent for display purposes, where they exhibit a distinctive, assertive character.
