Kyhota

(available at myfonts.com and fonts.com)

I like doing typefaces in the spirit of the 19th century. Perhaps this inclination indicates that I am out of touch with the 20th century. If I am, that may not be altogether bad. Though fonts of this sort are often associated with the "Old West" in the United States, they were in common use in the 19th century.

Kyhota, KyhotaTwo and KyhotaBarbed have an "Old West" look, though in fact the style on which they were based was used widely in the 19th century, including many places which were not part of the American West. All three should be used at larger point sizes. Kyhota-Barbed is the most condensed of the three, and the one I like best.

Kyhota was illustrated in the "Type-Drawer" column in the November 1989 issue of Personal Publishing (named later changed to Business Publishing. I am not sure if it is still alive.)
