I was curious if you used the word "grotesk" as a technical term in type design, like how "gothic" (apparently) has typographic meaning. I looked it up, and learned that "grotesque" is a class/category of sans-serif fonts.

Re-reading your last sentence, you probably meant in a general way, as in "grotesque: characterized by ludicrous or incongruous distortion; outlandish or bizarre".

Edit: Oh, here's a great comment from someone who worked on the font, with a mention of "Grotesque" san-serif.

I meant it in a typographical sense.
