Heavy western-style capitals with clipped corners and inward mid-stem notches
Delia
Delia shows thick dark capitals with broad square feet and sharply clipped corners, where small inward notches cut into the sides of the D, E and L around mid-height and the A keeps a narrow opening, while the parchment, notebook and inkwells around it are presentation scenery.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Delia.
The stems stay thick, the feet square, the corners clip and the notches bite into the waists. That notch is the character: a Western slab gains a cut that reads as a brand mark on leather, which is why the sample sets it on parchment. The scenery is styling rather than texture, so inspect the actual case and character set, proof the narrow A opening at 24 pt and keep the mid-stem cuts from crowding on long words. The mid-stem notches are the fragile cut: they fill under a heavy ink and close at about 24 pt, so keep 24 pt and above and proof the narrow A opening at 1:1.

Sign for a saddle shop
The Western slabs suit a workshop sign, and the heavy forms hold a two-word name at 54 mm on a painted board, where the clipped corners read from the road.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 600 by 300 mm board: set the shop name at 54 mm on one row, keep 22 mm of clear ground beneath before the hours at 14 pt, and keep 22 mm of border so the square feet are not cut.
Pre-production check
The mid-stem notches close when painted small; check the mask artwork and keep the sign at 46 mm.
Label for a leather goods brand
The clipped caps give a label craft, and the heavy strokes hold a two-word name at 22 pt on a 60 by 45 mm label, where the notches survive a blind emboss.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Blind emboss a 60 by 45 mm label: set the name at 22 pt on one row, keep 9 mm of clear ground beneath before the line name at 6 pt, and keep the notch depth above 0.5 mm in the die.
Pre-production check
Shallow notches vanish in an emboss; check the die proof and deepen them before the run, since a 1 mm notch holds best on firm leather.
Heading for a craft feature
The Western slab sets a hands-on heading, and the broad feet hold a two-word title at 48 pt on a page, where the notched waist gives a printed detail.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 mm page: set the heading at 48 pt on one row, keep 20 mm of clear ground beneath before the standfirst at 10 pt, and keep the body in a bookish serif rather than a second slab.
Pre-production check
Two slab rows on one spread flatten the contrast; check the page and keep the deck in a roman.
