Shotgun
Shotgun is a theatrical display typeface that draws heavily from 19th-century Western and Wild West typography traditions. The letterforms feature exaggerated slab serifs with bracketed transitions, giving each character a bold, commanding presence reminiscent of saloon signage and wanted posters. The design emphasizes high contrast between thick stems and thinner connecting strokes, while maintaining relatively open apertures that ensure legibility even at display sizes. What distinguishes Shotgun from other Western-inspired faces is its refined balance between historical authenticity and contemporary polish, avoiding the overly cartoonish qualities that plague many novelty Western fonts.
