Rounded mixed-case slabs with blunt feet and irregular rustic edges
Braveston Slab
Braveston Slab is a rounded mixed-case slab in which the bowls stay heavy, the feet blunt off, the edges carry a slight unevenness and the lowercase keeps a warm width, so a title reads as a ranch sign rather than a hard Western face.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Braveston Slab.
The B closes two round bowls on a straight stem, the r carries a short blunt arm, the a keeps a wide open counter and every foot ends in a small squared block with a softly irregular edge. The mixed-case setting is the character: most Western faces are capitals only, so a lowercase line softens the tone, which is why the sample sets one title on a wooden plaque. Because the weight is heavy, the face reads from 28 pt and holds fine at large sizes in print or vinyl, though punctuation and case coverage should be checked in the file before a long message is set. The medallion, windmill and sunset are artwork; the cream lettering is the face.

Sign for a ranch gate
The rounded slabs read at a distance, and the mixed case keeps a two-word title warm at 80 mm on a painted board in one ink.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 700 by 300 mm board: set the title at 80 mm, keep 30 mm between the two words, and keep 35 mm of border all round so the blunt feet are not trimmed.
Pre-production check
A heavy slab painted to the frame edge looks cut; check the mounted sign and keep 30 mm of margin.
Banner for a harvest fair
The rustic weight suits a printed banner, and the lowercase keeps a long name readable at 60 mm across a vinyl sheet outdoors.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a two-metre banner: set the name at 60 mm, keep 45 mm of border all round so the eyelets clear the letters, and set the dates in a 30 mm caps underneath.
Pre-production check
An eyelet punched through a letter tears the banner; check the layout and keep 40 mm of clear ground from the hem.
Label for a small brewery
The rounded slab carries a can label, and the heavy forms stay solid at 20 pt on a 66 mm wrap panel printed in one flat ink.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 66 by 100 mm can panel: set the brand at 20 pt, set the style at 9 pt in a caps beneath, and keep 6 mm from the wrap edge so the letters stay on the flat wall.
Pre-production check
A slab wrapped over the can shoulder distorts; check the mock and keep every letter on the straight section.
