Koch Grotesk specimen from Poem

A revival grotesque rooted in Rudolf Koch's early twentieth-century German lettering, issued by Poem Editions as part of their library of historically informed typefaces.

About

Koch Grotesk takes its cues from Rudolf Koch's distinctive approach to sans-serif lettering, preserving the subtle stroke variation and idiosyncratic character forms that set his work apart from the more mechanical grotesques of the period. Poem Editions positions it within a curated library of typefaces drawn from historical sources. The result is a text-weight grotesque with a warm, artisanal quality uncommon in the genre.

Classification

A grotesque sans-serif revival drawing on Rudolf Koch's early twentieth-century lettering tradition, with the characteristic stroke contrast and humanist irregularities associated with German type design of that era.
