Tips for western lettering

Keep western fonts readable and license-safe.
  • 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

Where these western fonts tend to fit.
  • Saloon and restaurant menus

    Frontier wordmarks for apparel, packaging, and logo experiments.
