1915, that is:

This was ridiculously fun to do, and I must say I learned so much, too.
Go and have a look — and let us know what *your* favorites were :-)

Not necessarily my favourite, but the most interesting: Koralle.
Goudy Old Style Italic is 1915 too, according to man himself.
Only the swashes where added later (and named as Cursive).

About Hobo, I have this crazy and untested theory that it may have originated as hand-lettering for the Colgate toothpaste. It looks a bit like it is made out of toothpaste, isn't it?
