Broad Western slabs with pinched mid-stroke notches
Bronco Western

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Bronco Western.
The feet spread wide, the strokes pinch inward halfway up, the counters narrow at the waist and the serifs stay blocky. That notched waist is the character: the lettering looks cut by a sign painter rather than drawn on a screen, which is why the cover sets a single heavy word over a desert scene. The cacti and the pale outer glow are scene styling, so keep 34 pt before the pinch closes and check the actual contour instead of assuming an automatic edge.

Sign for a barbecue joint
The notched slabs give a roadside sign its character, and the broad feet read at 70 mm on a painted board in one colour.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 600 by 300 mm board: set the shop name at 70 mm on one row, keep 26 mm of clear ground beneath before the hours at 14 pt, and keep 24 mm of border so the broad feet stay whole.
Pre-production check
A pinch painted too fine disappears at distance; check the mounted board and keep the notches at 4 mm.
Banner for a ranch party
The Western slabs set a themed banner, and the heavy blocks hold a name at 54 pt across an A3 sheet, where the pinched waists read as a deliberate notch.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A3 banner: set the name at 54 pt on one row, keep 20 mm beneath before the details at 13 pt, and keep 20 mm of margin so the wide feet are not cropped.
Pre-production check
Two notched rows stacked look busy; check the sheet and set the second line in a plain slab.
Heading for a travel feature
The broad slabs set a travel heading, and the pinched waists hold a two-word title at 50 pt across a printed page, with the narrow O counter kept open.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 mm page: set the heading at 50 pt on one row, keep 18 mm beneath before the standfirst at 10 pt, and keep the block inside the column so the wide feet do not touch the gutter.
Pre-production check
Heavy slabs used for a pull quote overwhelm the body; check the page and keep the face for the heading only.
