  • great video. thank you for the history. i just thought this font was more beautiful and has a bit more character than people always using helvetica for large print

  • @tonyhawksacriminal Completely agree with you! Helvetica is sometimes overrated; yes it is very clean, simple and durable, but it is also bland and lacks personality, something Akzidenz Grotesk radiates.

  • @emmamaykenny awesome video. I mean it really is top notch

    You should also check out Neue Haas Grotesk by Christian Schwartz. Made me reappreciate Helvetica.

  • Great video! We're doing some work at school about the Akzidenz Grotesk and the influence on modern design. This is really helpfull!

  • This is wonderful!
