To the above: Naming it Tiny Grotesque when Tiny Grotesk already exist is an absolute shit move from Optimo. A large and succesfull type foundry steamrolling over a smaller foundry makes it impossible for the latter to sell and market their typeface. I vividly recall the type scene coming together to call out that guy who published Inter a few years back. It is very telling how the rules don’t apply the same to all.
