Akzidenz-Grotesk is a grotesque (early sans-serif) typeface originally released by the Berthold Type Foundry in 1896 under the name Accidenz-Grotesk. One of the first sans serif typefaces to be widely used, its design influenced many later designs, especially many neo-grotesque typefaces released after 1950. Akzidenz means a 'trade' type for commercial use. It was sometimes sold as Standard or Basic Commercial in the USA.
