Layered western slab
Senior Western
Senior Western is a layered western slab in red and black on aged cream: heavy slabs with notched corners, an inner line inside each stroke, a hard offset shadow, and a frame of hats, stars and a desert silhouette, so the pair reads as a rodeo poster rather than a modern slab.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Senior Western.
The two words are stacked in two colours, and the drawing is a western slab with an inline: the serifs are blocks, the stems are notched, and a thin line runs inside each stroke, which is the detail that makes the letters read as routed timber rather than printed type. A hard shadow sits behind both lines at the same offset, so the pair reads as one plate rather than as two experiments. Spacing is tight and the widths are even, so the block fills the centre of the frame. The frame is a period composition — a hat either side, stars in the corners, an oval rule above and a desert scene at the foot — all in the same two inks, which is what makes the plate feel like a printed rodeo bill.

Sign for a western bar
A layered western slab reads as a painted rodeo sign, and the inline and shadow give a fascia depth that a flat slab cannot.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 1,800 by 600 mm board: the name at 200 mm cap height, a 8 mm inline, a 10 mm shadow, and the hours in a 30 mm sans. Keep 50 mm margins and paint two colours on a dark board.
Pre-production check
Check the inline at 8 mm, where a narrower line reads as damage; keep it above 6 mm. Confirm the 30 mm hours read at five metres and that the shadow does not merge with the frame.
Invitation for a rodeo party
A western slab sets a theme without a costume, and the two inks print at home while keeping the inline visible on a small card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A6 card: the phrase at 30 pt, the details in a 9 pt sans, and a 4 mm frame. Keep 12 mm margins and print two colours on an aged cream card so the inline stays open at card size.
Pre-production check
Check the 30 pt phrase, where the inline can close; keep the size above 26 pt. Confirm the 9 pt details keep a 4.5:1 contrast and that the frame does not cut the descenders.
Cover for a rodeo programme
A layered slab gives a programme the look of a printed bill, and the frame from the family carries the whole cover without a photograph.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the title at 95 mm cap height across 230 mm, the subtitle in a 12 pt slab, and the year at 9 pt caps. Print two inks on an aged stock and let the desert silhouette run along the foot.
Pre-production check
Check the title at thumbnail size, where the inline can blur into the fill; keep the contrast between the two colours. Confirm the 9 pt year survives lamination and that the title clears the silhouette.
