In 1956, Schriftgeißerei Genzsch & Heyse released the pattern for this typeface, designed by Werner Rebhuhn, under the name “Hobby”. Despite its Eisenhower-era origins, the face retains its casual charm, spontaneity and freshness even after half a century.

Both versions of the font contain the complete Unicode 1252 (Latin) and Unicode 1250 (Central European) character sets, with localization for Romanian and Moldovan.
