Western fonts recall the American frontier: wanted posters, saloon signs, circus bills and rodeo banners printed with big wood type. The typical look is a heavy slab serif with reversed stress, the French Clarendon style, or letters with split, spurred Tuscan serifs, plus ornate capitals, rope and leather textures and rough, weathered letterpress prints. Use them for country music and rodeo events, barbecue and steakhouse menus, whiskey and beer labels, cowboy-themed parties and game titles. Free favourites are Sancreek, Bleeding Cowboys, Carnivalee Freakshow, Saddlebag and GoldRush. Western display faces are wide and heavy, so give them space, use them in capitals for headlines and pair them with a plain serif for smaller text.
