Looking for faces that would represent the Old West with a modern flair. Kind of Cowboy Cool. Any thoughts are appreciated!
Thanks!

Cowboy cool is subjective, I think. I'd recommend headin' over to Letterhead fonts, pardner' ... ;^)

There's also FontMesa, and the Wood Types at Nick's Fonts.

You could do a search for Western at Myfonts or at da font.

Or Brothers by Emigre.

unknown

Dekoria from Fountain

unknown

Giorgio, Steel Moderne, Drunk Cowboy and you can also take a look in Wood Type Fonts

unknown

You could also check out Giddyup which comes with dingbats as well.

The coolest cowboys use Fontalicious' Superfly
(one arrow click to the right). From the blurb:

If anyone has ever sat around and wondered, "Can someone
start off making a western font and end up with a funky 70's
font?", I can answer that question for them. The answer is
yes. Take Superfly for example. Those big @$ serifs might
make you go: "Western", but believe you me, it ain't. I don't
see any cowboy hats on those brothers, do you?

You could go wayyy out there with Cowboy Rhumbahut ...

Hahahahahaha! I totally forgot about that, Stephen. :-)

When I googled "cowboy cool" I got Cowboy Burt from Coolfonts.
