WyomingStrudel

(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.

WyomingStrudel piles Victorianism on Victorianism. Typefaces which have thick serifs are associated with an "Old West" or nineteenth century look and feel. Another popular style of the period was Tuscan, in which the serifs were split. In WyomingStrudel Tuscan split serif has been placed inside the fat square serif as interior decoration. It is an interesting typeface when you do not want to be subtle.
