Tips for western lettering
- 01
Prefer short display lines
These faces shine on posters, menus, and storefront titles—not long body paragraphs.
- 02
Pair with a simple slab or sans
Use a western display face for the hero line, then a quieter text face for details and fine print.
- 03
Keep license files
If you redistribute the pack, include the OFL and Apache text files from WesternFonts.zip.
- 04
Do not sell the fonts alone
OFL and Apache allow project use; selling the font files as a standalone product is not allowed under OFL.
Great for
Saloon and restaurant menus
Short western titles for BBQ, steakhouse, and themed event graphics.
Wild-west posters and flyers
Wanted-style headlines and fair booth lettering.
Ranch and brand mockups
Frontier wordmarks for apparel, packaging, and logo experiments.
