Yeah I’m not actually sure where that specific term came from as a descriptor for that kind of typeface. It might just be that someone decided to call it that because they felt it expressed their reason for designing in the way they did
Perhaps they felt moving away from the formality of blackletter felt more accessible at a time when not everyone could read, and was more “human”
