Hobo (typeface)
Hobo is a sans serif typeface. It is unique in having virtually no straight lines and no descenders. It was created by Morris Fuller Benton and issued by American Type Founders in 1910. A light version, ''Light Hobo'', was released in 1915. Matrices were offered for mechanical composition by Intertype. Hobo possesses uniquely organic and art nouveau-style features. The lower case letters provided the basis for Robert Wiebking's ''Advertisers Gothic'' of 1917.
Its name came from a story stating that it was sketched in the early 1900s, sent to the foundry nameless, and progressed so little for so long, that it was called ''"that old hobo"''. Hobo, originally called ''Adface'', was finally patented in 1915 along with Light Hobo.
Digital versions of this face are often found in Mac OS and Microsoft Windows systems.
== Usage in popular culture ==
Hobo was used as the main typeface in the title sequence and promotional materials of the 1969 film ''Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid''. Hobo was also used in the opening titles of ''The Dukes of Hazzard''.
