The light and the bold. The thick and the thin. Laverne and the Shirley. Peanut Butter and the Jelly.
Hoban is about contrast. Hoban wants to be noticed, but only after a second glance. A friend of a friend
to the didones, it has smaller, tapering serifs, slightly calligraphic traits, and spindly little terminals that
go where they please.
It’s a headline face. Period. Set it big and bold. Or light and airy. But preferably next to something with flair. Cuff links, canapés, or corvettes–it’s up to you. Distinct ligatures, ornaments, and swashy alternates provide plenty of character to tailor your style.
