Old West font



I found this sign and i just had to take a picture. It went really really well with what i was doing. Its funny it took me forever to try to find which font this was. You'd think that old western type faces were the same but wow was i way wrong. i didn't know that there was more detail to them then i thought. This type face is called Cibola. What separate's this type face from the rest is that the tops and the bottoms of the letters are way waver then they typical western type faces, the second thing i noticed about this type face is that it has a hash mark (i dont know the correct term so we'll call it that) only in the center of the letters. Other type faces had hash marks on the upper part of the letter and on the lower part. And also the letter thins out and thickens in different places through-out the letter. So now that you know that, look at this picture and the other picture and you now will be able to tell the difference.
