Just some trivia...

So, i decide to post a bit of history about the origin of sans. The interesting thing about the following is not the creator, but the innovator.

the origin of the sans.
Officially, the very first sans serif typeface to be used for printing was published around 1816 by the William Caslon iv English typefoundry.


This display face only contained capitals and it is not clear where the rather clumsy forms came from. As a design this sans serif typeface has little value.
Much more interesting is Akzidenz Grotesk, published in 1898 by the German Berthold type foundry in Berlin.
This sans serif immediately became a great success and was soon imitated by several typefounders.
