This sounds really a bit excentric to me (kind of forced, artificial originality) ... and as probably everybody else I would like to have normal frequencies there, as a standard marking for the last few decades). There is no advantage in this type of labelling, just to add a small suffering to the user I feel ... +1 step button makes it even more confusing ...

Actually you'll get used pretty soon.
I never look exactly on frequencies, so it doesn't matter what is written around knobs (it could be dogs, birds, cats, mices), but on first sight it is strange, I agree.
I think it's part of Dave Hill's design philosophy, as good things are never just common in all senses.
If you need EQ with perfect order of buttons, all detented knobs, hard bypass on each band etc. you can have SPL's Qure for half or less.
But you'll not get IBIS sound and that's only what counts here (well Qure has other merits).
More than for sure you'll be very satisfied with this EQ (from all excellent Crane Song's gears this one is my favorite)
