The American Federation of Arts, Gilbert, Dorothy B., ed. New York: R.R. Bowker Company, 1959; pp. 264–265〕 the son of Jules S. and Carrie Pfaelzer Hornung.〔"Deaths"; ''The New York Times'', December 4, 1941〕 He studied at City College of New York (B.S.), New York University and Cooper Union Art School in New York.〔 One of Hornung's well-known works is the ''Handbook of Designs and Devices'' first published in 1932. He was a designer for the American Type Founders, and created colophons for many contemporary publishers including the Book League of America, Farrar & Rinehart and Vanguard Press.

Hornung )〕 Many famous trademarks and symbols used in the mid 20th century drew on Hornung's work, or were designed by him. During a Judge Advocate General patent division review of the then-new US Civil Defense Fallout Shelter sign, it was noted that the sign was identical to design 349 in Hornung's Handbook.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CONELRAD Adjacent: AN INDELIBLE COLD WAR SYMBOL: THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE FALLOUT SHELTER SIGN )〕 Hornung's limited edition lithographs of antique automobiles are highly desired by collectors.〔 In 1972 Abrams Books published Hornung's ''Treasury of American Design'', an anthology of popular art in two volumes. ''New York Times'' art criti Hilton Kramer called it "a work of extraordinary beauty — Mr. Hornung also designed it — which is a virtual encyclopedia of American folk art … indispensable."〔Kramer, Hilton, "Designing America"; ''The New York Times'', December 3, 1972〕 Clarence P.
