The Akzidenz Grotesk Font is a type of grotesque font that was initially referred to as a sans-serif typeface. It was first introduced by the Berthold type foundry in 1896 under the name accidenz-grotesk.
Akzidenz-grotesk is one of the first sans-serif typefaces to be broadly used. Its design impact many later designs, particularly many neo-gruesome typefaces released after 1950. The word akzidenz means a ‘trade’ kind for business use.
