WestWords in Need of a Font
I have a new DungeonWords-style PocketMod in the works for weird west settings. I've got my words selected and I have sketched out a little wilderness map featuring a random selection of words. What I really need, though, is help rustling up a good (and free) title font. The Cumberland Fontworks provided the title font for the previous two volumes. But I'm not at all happy with the old west fonts that I have found so far. Any ideas?

I like Hard Block by Måns Grebäck & BlackHawk by John Singer.
Have you checked myfont? They cost money of course, but I think that's where I got the Western font fot Hell-bent, a Western comic I did. I don't remember the name, though.
You know I'm looking forward to this! :)
Make sure you check out the Western Fonts category at Da Font.
Oh wow, I so like that Hard Block by Måns Grebäck, that is clearly a western style, but with a goofy twinge to it. Nice.
This looks pretty cool Tim, looking forward to it!
I'm going to ride out and check out that wreckage. Maybe I can salvage some parts to sell or maybe I can find out what caused the crash and get some kind of reward.
@Christian: That stage coach wreckage is just another mirage... It's a trap!
Blambot have a number of free fonts; they're designed for comics, but there are a variety of evocative designs. I don't see any free wild west type fonts, but you might find something you like there.
If you go to www.fontspace.com, and do a search for "west" a lot of cool stuff comes up. Some of my personal favorites are: "Bleeding Cowboys," "Helldorado," "Blackhawk" (mentioned by Rainswept), and "Two Gun Johann." and those are just in the first six pages of results.

Check the Highlands font.
Awesome suggestions! I'm going to consider my options tonight. :)
Yeah, that Hard Block is an early front-runner
I just found this site. It's probably a pay site, but the fonts look pretty good.
