Chamfered collegiate blocks with deep irregular erosion
Cowboy Junior
Cowboy Junior stacks a pale upper row over an orange lower one on green: clipped O and C corners, broad feet and thick straight strokes build a collegiate skeleton, while large ragged holes and small flecks erode the fill.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Cowboy Junior.
The O and C clip their corners, the feet widen into broad slabs, the stems stay straight and heavy and the fill loses large ragged pieces alongside finer flecks. The deep erosion is the character: the wear cuts into the letter rather than sitting on top of it, which is why the sample sets two rows on a dark green ground. Because the holes are large, keep 32 pt so a letter does not lose a stroke, and check the number set separately since a personalised figure may not carry the same treatment. The rider silhouette and landscape circle are cover art.

Project & layout

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Cowboy Junior’s stroke geometry.
Shirt print for a school team
The collegiate blocks read on fabric, and the eroded fill gives a team name a worn feel at 80 mm across a printed chest. Two inks keep the pale upper row from competing with the lower one.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 300 mm chest print: set the upper row at 80 mm and the lower at 66 mm, keep 18 mm between the rows, and keep 45 mm beneath for the player number on a separate line. Keep the player number off the eroding rows.
Pre-production check
Large erosion holes can isolate a stroke at small sizes; check the film at full size and keep the letters at 60 mm or more.
Sign for a country store
The chamfered slabs suit a Western sign, and the pale fill on a dark ground holds a two-word name at 60 mm on a painted board. One colour also keeps the clipped corners readable at a distance.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 600 by 300 mm board: set the upper row at 60 mm and the lower at 50 mm, keep 20 mm between the rows, and keep 28 mm of border so the clipped corners stay whole. Use one coat for each colour.
Pre-production check
Erosion painted too fine fills in under a second coat; check the mask and keep the flecks at 3 mm minimum. Paint a sample board before the sign.
Label for a pumpkin stand
The worn blocks suit a seasonal label, and the thick slabs keep a short name clear at 22 pt on a 60 mm panel in two inks. The lower row stays short so two eroded lines do not compete.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 40 mm label: set the name at 22 pt, keep 8 mm of clear ground beneath for the lower row, and set the price in a 6 pt sans at the foot with 5 mm of clear space. Keep the price line deliberately small.
Pre-production check
Two eroding rows on one small label become noise; check the proof and keep the second row out of labels under 50 mm.

Typewriter slab
Old Typewriter
Old Typewriter is a typewriter slab in dark ink on a kraft sheet: light uniform strokes, blunt slab serifs, a fixed advance and slightly uneven impressions, set as one line with a smaller line beneath and a dated note under that, with the carriage and the ribbon visible above and below.

Vintage western slab with ornaments
Loved Rodeo
Loved Rodeo is a vintage western slab in black on aged paper: bracketed slab serifs, a slightly flared stem, an R with a spurred leg, and a composition framed by a hat, stars, a ribbon banner and a desert silhouette, so the pair reads as a saloon sign rather than as a modern serif.

Distressed western slab in two tones
Rough Cowboy
Rough Cowboy is a distressed western slab in brown and beige on cream: heavy capitals with thick flat serifs and a worn texture, printed in two tones so each letter reads as a stencil, with boots, hats, cacti and watercolour clouds around them.
