Akzidenz-Grotesk, often referred to as Accidenz-Grotesk, is a historic sans-serif typeface first released in 1898 by the Berthold Type Foundry in Berlin, Germany. Belonging to the Sans-Serif category, its sub-category is Neo-Grotesque Sans-Serif, recognized for its clean, neutral, and functional design that became a major influence on later typefaces such as Helvetica and Univers. Known for its simplicity and versatility, Akzidenz-Grotesk has been widely used in corporate design, signage, advertising, and modernist graphic design throughout the 20th century. It remains a proprietary typeface licensed by Monotype and Berthold, requiring purchase for commercial use, but is celebrated as one of the most important precursors to modern sans-serif typography.
