15, 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 :-)

Very clever and delightful!
Not necessarily my favourite, but the most interesting: Koralle.

I must admit that the writing for Koralle was quite fun.

Marvelous!! Congrats!!!
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?
