Designed by Rian Hughes, English Grotesque is a sans serif font household. This typeface has six styles and was published by Device.

English Grotesque is based on the proportions of an early 20th century signwriter's sans, stressing the characteristic tricks of type of the duration. Sharing a similar Roman circle-and-square building and construction as Gill Sans or Johnston Train, it has a wide T and W, a narrow S, and a long-tailed R.

The Roman alphabet did not include a lower-case, and therefore early sans-serifs tended to base theirs on handwritten or cursive models, leading to more even character widths. English Grotesque, by contrast, brings the more characterful percentages of the capitals through to the lower case.

Available in 6 weights, with optional alternative variations for the Q, &&, ₤ and J.
