Western heritage slab with spurred serifs and a worn contour
Westmar
Westmar is a western heritage slab in which the serifs grow spurs, the stems bulge and the contour breaks into a worn edge, so a name reads as a brand burned onto a wooden sign.

Letterform structure
of Westmar.
The W splays four heavy strokes with spurred feet, the e closes a wide eye, the s holds a thick spine with terminal spurs, the t sets a wide bar, the m keeps three even stems and the r turns a spurred arm, all at a slab weight with exaggerated serifs and a rough, broken outline. The spurs are the character: they sit on the serifs and the terminals and give the word its frontier look, which is why the sample sets one name on a torn paper label. Because the shapes are solid, the face holds from 24 pt and prints in one ink, and the worn edge reads as age rather than as damage. The leather hat, the rope, the buckle and the torn paper are presentation; the dark display name is the face.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Westmar’s stroke geometry.
Label for a small leather workshop
The spurred slabs suit a leather goods brand, and the worn contour prints as an embossed look at 22 pt on a paper label.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 70 by 45 mm label: set the brand name at 22 pt, set the maker line in a 7 pt slab beneath, and keep 5 mm of border so the spur feet are not clipped by the die.
Pre-production check
Spur feet cut by a small die look broken; check the imposed label and keep 4 mm of ground around the word.
Sign for a farm and ranch supply
The western register reads from the road, and the heavy spurs hold a two-word ranch sign at 110 mm on a painted timber board.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 900 by 300 mm board: set the words at 110 mm, keep 35 mm of border, and paint in one deep colour so the spurred serifs stay crisp in daylight.
Pre-production check
A worn contour painted by hand can read as a bad edge; check the board at three metres and keep the spurs deliberate rather than ragged.
Tag for a heritage clothing line
The spurs give a clothing hang tag a period voice, and the slab weight keeps a short brand name solid at 18 pt on kraft card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 45 by 90 mm tag: set the brand name at 18 pt, punch a 4 mm hole 10 mm from the top, and keep the spurred first letter clear of the punched hole so the string does not tear it.
Pre-production check
A spur printed next to a punched hole tears under load; check the assembled tag and turn the word so the spur faces the lower edge.
