Grotesque Sans-serif AI image prompts
The first family of sans-serif type — the blunt, slightly irregular nineteenth-century 'grotesques' that gave Victorian advertising its loud display voice.

Use the prompts below in Midjourney, DALL·E, or Stable Diffusion — or build your own from the Grotesque Sans-serif vocabulary.
