Subclass

This is the oldest sans serif style, derived from the first serifless typefaces which were nicknamed "Grotesque" by those who were accustomed to serifs. Many of these faces are sometimes called "American Gothic" due to their popularity in the states throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, though the style originated in Great Britain.
