Have you ever wondered where “Grotesk” comes from? Well wonder no more - we’re back on ya feeds with the one and only OversetText - (aptly using a ruler as a mic holder today) for a history lesson diving into the origins of Grotesk fonts and how they’ve evolved since. This story starts all the way back in 1832 with William Thorowgood’s type specimen called Grotesque - supposedly named due to an apprehensive perception of sans serif fonts at the time - and luckily ends with a worldwide appreciation for these once “ugly” fonts.

What are some of your fave Grotesks?
