“Due to their pure geometric structure, most grotesque typefaces tend to have a rather monotonous and lifeless appearance, thus failing to express the ideals of the modern creed. Das Grotesk, by contrast, is a lively design with several distinct characteristics. It was designed with slanted curved ends and sheared terminals applied on straight strokes. A very legible and space-saving typeface with a narrow structure and a two-story a and g, but single-story alternates as well.”
