Essentially a variant of Friedrich-Bauer-Grotesk with flat apexes (A M N V W) as default and a double-story ‘a’. “Genzsch-Grotesk did not succeed Friedrich-Bauer-Grotesk, both typefaces were offered side by side in the library. […] Due to the lack of italics in Trennert’s version […], Genzsch & Heyse developed Grotesk-Kursiv for the mager and halbfett weights to make good these deficiencies.” [Ulrich]
