It was always the intention to design OTR Grotesk to become a workhorse, performing well across a broad range of applications. Its tall x-height, generally wide glyphs, and loose spacing ensure great readability at small sizes. The initial design, however, also explored reducing the white space between characters to achieve a tighter appearance for display use and logo design. All this, combined with the idea of finding a formal design language that allows glyphs to be very round, led to overhanging terminals in certain curves (e.g., in a and s). [mztype.ch]
