No — American Grotesk isn’t listed as a free font. Klim Type Foundry releases it, so licence options and pricing sit on their site.
American Grotesk is a sans-serif typeface from Klim Type Foundry.
Start with Klim Type Foundry’s other releases — Söhne, Founders Grotesk, Untitled Sans, and Calibre. They come from the same studio that drew American Grotesk, and A1 has 28 websites using them.
American Grotesk® is a reprisal of Franklin Gothic, which has staked its place as a key part of American graphic vernacular history, notably in persuasive communication. American Grotesk® appears in a time when truths, half-truths, lies, fiction or entertainment seem interchangeable, resulting in a culture of personal truths. Compounded by the rapid growth of generative artificial intelligence, our ability to index authority, authorship and authenticity are being redefined through the lens of a new and uncanny form of Americana.
A1 features 2 websites using American Grotesk, including Vladimir Pushkarev and Central. They lean towards Big type, Illustration, and Typographic design styles, and they’re most often built with Framer.
