Western slab with mid-stroke spurs
Rodeo Spurs
Rodeo Spurs is a tall rounded western slab in pale pink on a dark brown check: heavy caps with pointed spurs standing out from the mid-stroke, round bowls and a strong vertical stress, with a script line beneath in the same tone and four stars set in the corners.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Rodeo Spurs.
The two words are stacked and the drawing is a western slab: the stems are heavy, the bowls are round, and every stem carries a pointed spur at mid-height that projects past the outline, which is what makes the face read as a frontier sign rather than as a modern slab. Those spurs are the detail that sets a size floor, and the plate sets the block large enough that they read as shapes rather than as damage. The script line beneath is a companion cut rather than part of the same family, and the four stars in the corners are period furniture that frame the composition. Because the slabs are heavy, the face works at display sizes and on signage, and the pale pink on dark brown is a two-colour pairing that keeps the contrast honest.

Project & layout
blueprints.
Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Rodeo Spurs’s stroke geometry.
Sign for a barbecue joint
A western slab reads as a painted sign, and the projecting spurs give a short name a silhouette that holds on a fascia in poor light.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 1,100 by 380 mm fascia: the joint at 120 mm cap height, the hours in a 24 mm slab, and a 5 mm rule. Keep 28 mm margins and paint two colours on a dark board.
Pre-production check
Check the fascia at six metres, where a spur can read as a chip; keep them symmetrical. Confirm the 24 mm hours read at three metres and that the rule clears the fixings.
Poster for a rodeo
A western slab sets a rodeo poster as a period bill, and the heavy spurs stay legible when the poster is seen from a car park.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A2 poster: the event at 100 mm cap height, the dates in a 24 mm slab, and the venue at 11 mm. Keep 28 mm margins and print two colours on a warm stock.
Pre-production check
Check the poster at five metres, where the spurs can clot against the border; keep 20 mm clear. Confirm the 11 mm venue reads at three metres and that the date band stays level.
Sign for a western party
A western face gives a themed celebration an authentic board, and the round bowls keep the letters friendly rather than harsh.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A1 board: the greeting at 90 mm cap height, the names at 45 mm, and the date at 20 mm. Keep 35 mm margins, paint one colour on a stained board and finish the corner stars by hand.
Pre-production check
Check the board at five metres, where the pale letters can wash out in daylight; hold the contrast above 4.5:1. Confirm the 20 mm date reads from the door and that the stars sit level.
