Character Set


WyomingPastad (Plain, Shadowed, ShadRight)

(available at myfonts.com and fonts.com)

Typefaces with very thin verticals and fat, square serifs were popular in the 19th century for display. Hollywood helped associate this style with the Old West, but reference books identify some of it as Italian style. WyomingSpaghetti, which was the first of a series of faces, has a name which combines these two associations.

WyomingPastad simplifies the WyomingSpaghetti style. The round letter shapes of WyomingSpagetti have moved toward squareness. The overall effect is that WyomingPastad no longer looks much like an "Old West" face. Rather it looks quite modern.

There are two shadowed versions of this face. As with all shadowed variations, they are usable only at larger point sizes.
