pls help to find out this font

artslons

Need to know font for both types of text :)

I searched using “Tuscan” and found Fontaniolo which was made all black for the lower typeface.

Nope, Mike this is a freefont, with all the stars and stuff included. Don’t know when regular user Artslons learns to write a descriptive title of his requests. I’ll wait for some minutes until I provide the name of this »Wild West«-font, mabe Artslons could edit his title? BTW, wild west font would make a descriptive title … ;^D

Wild West by West Wind Fonts.

Yeah, now all the fun’s gone ;^D

Uh ... I’m so late.

But I’ll add this: Please use a descriptive title next time! Thank you.

Yepp, what I said above :D

I can see you’re right Renko and Jan, but Wild West Wind and Fontaniolo are definitely based on the same typeface.

- Mike Yanega

Obviously. And I like the Fontaniolo version the most, I have to say. Don’t know where I could use it, but it is a nice one.

@Renko

I am regular user of this site but i really dont have idea about “descriptive title”. Pls just explain me how it should be. so next time i will not do this mistake :). Thanks for all of your support. It makes me easy for my orders.

If I can try to answer your question about ’descriptive title’, in addition to what it says in the FAQ about title, the main reason for wanting this is because the people who are trying to help you don’t know which thread to look for when they think they found an answer, if all the thread titles say something like “help identify this font”. If this thread was called “AIR - WORLD’S LARGEST” we would all know which one to come back to with our answer.

We don’t always get the answer at first glace, and so sometimes we have to go hunt for a while and then come back and try to find the thread. I can’t tell you how many times I have had to search through the posts looking for the one I found an answer for, but couldn’t find because there was nothing about the title that told me which problem I was answering.

What Mike said.
a) Try to describe the letterforms. In this case, something along the lines of ‘decorated caps with stars, stripes, bulges; Wild West/Circus style.
b) Mention the source, date and media (if known). Could be ‘Mumbai leaflet’ or ‘French poster from the 1970s’ or ‘Headline type on www.example.org’.
c) Always helpful, in addition to a) and b): Type out the literal letters/lines in your sample: ‘AIR - WORLD’S LARGEST’.
Thanks!
