Morris specimen from ParaType

A 1998 single-weight display face by Dmitry Gulinov, derived from Morris F. Benton's Hobo (ATF, 1910), with heavy, rounded strokes and an irregular, playful character.

About

Designed at TypeMarket, Morris takes Benton's ascenderless Hobo as its starting point, preserving the blob-swelled strokes, uneven counters and informal silhouette that made the original distinctive. With only a single Regular weight, it is a narrow adaptation rather than a developed family. The specimen confirms the heavy weight and rounded, slightly chaotic letterforms inherited from the source.

Classification

A casual, rounded sans-serif display face based on Hobo (Morris F. Benton, ATF, 1910). The specimen shows blob-like, stroke-swelled letterforms with quirky, uneven contours typical of the Hobo tradition – no serifs, high stroke weight, and a playful, hand-drawn quality.
