This wonderful new children's book by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor features our Wild West Press fonts prominently.

A stirring subject needs a typeface with a punch. It looks like the Wild West Press provided just that with this work.

At the first glance, this book communicates its contents through the use of Civil War Era type and small clip-art accent. Here the Civil War Press fonts are used to their fullest advantage.

The cover page for this delightful tale couldn't have found a more fitting set of typefaces to entice its young readers. It's the authenticity of the Wild West Press fonts that makes them so uniquely fitting.

This new book from the Oxford University Press uses the Fonts of the Wild West Press to good effect as it establishes the setting for this discussion on mid-19th Century American Politics.

This beautifully designed book cover makes great use of Dead Man's Hand, a font from our Wild West Press collection. This font was drawn by a prominent Kansas writing master. His only direction was to create a handwriting that would reflect someone who would be "handier with a six-shooter than with a pen" We believe he succeeded beautifully.

Sorry, folks - it's probably all gone by now, but we're sure the guests at a recent event at the Texas Ranger Museum sponsored by USFN had no trouble finding dessert with this great sign by graphic artist Denise Werner.

Ah - Walden Font Co. has arrived in the blogosphere! While googling for something completely unrelated, we spotted this instructive website. We're honored the authors deemed the fonts of the Wild West Press sufficiently manly for their masthead!

The good folks at www.honestfoods.com have sent us some pictures of their delicious new products. All made better by our fonts smack on their labels. Check it out!

Paul Jenkins at 40 Rocks Design Studio says "Our studio is designing 3 posters for God’s Country Outfitters and the Wild West Set was exactly what we needed to make our concept of a rugged wanted poster come to life. Needless to say, our client LOVED it! Thanks for the great stuff." You're very welcome, Paul!

Jon at Fat Caddy Records sends us these wonderful posters. He writes: "We use [your fonts] more than we should" - c'mon Jon - with our fonts, there's no such thing!

Sarah produced this lovely flyer with fonts from the Wild West Press (the script font is Ale Paul's "Burgues Script", not sold by Walden Font Co.) We especially love the color scheme!

Graphic Designer Brice Beasley sent us this great poster, showcasing what you can do with the Wild West Press!

Owen Troy of Design des Troy had this to say: "I wanted to pass along a series of posters we did for a local up-and- coming rollicking seafaring country rock band Sweet Crude Bill and the Lighthouse Nautical Society. We couldn't have gotten the right off-kilter antiquity look for their sound without your Wild West type, which we used (heck, overused) in a frenzy." Well done, Owen!

Well here's something new - a tattoo of Henry David Thoreau sitting on a pumpkin, surrounded by his famous pronouncement "I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion" typeset - well, inked, rather - in Webster Italic WF from the Minuteman Printshop.

Jaimie Muehlhausen, San Diego designer extraordinaire and creator of the Redneck Words of Wisdom website used our Wild West Press in the artwork for his eponymous book slated to by published this October by Chronicle Books.

Jaimie also used a whole bunch of our fonts on his website. Head on over when you're done here - it's a must see. I laughed so hard, I fudged my undies...

Bob Howe at Bodine.com sent us a note, along with this stunning poster: 'I love your fonts and have purchased Civil War and Wild West font sets. I am looking forward to your WW 2 set. I recently did a poster for a John McEuen of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band fame. I used some of your fonts. Thought you might like to see it. Thanks, and keep up the good work.'

Debra found our William Shakespeare font from the Divers Handes collection wonderfully suitable for this project: She created a whole suite of business stationery for Anaphantasia, a 17th century music group.

Another group Debra is involved in is called 'La Gente d'Orfeo'. She used our Copperplate 1672 font from the Divers Handes collections to create a series of sophisticated fliers and a CD-cover. Click here to see the full flier in PDF format

“Font Spotting” is our favorite activity! Sometimes we just happen to browse at our local bookstore and find our own creations looking back at us. You may recognize the typeface on the cover of this excellent book as Type No. 10 from the Civil War Press!

Today we got this email from Jeff:
Hello. I havent been to your site in quite a while, and this is the first time I've seen the section on the front page about where your fonts were used. I thought I'd let you know that I used Type No. 4 on two albums for Blue Note Records, Madlib's 'Shades Of Blue' and the various artists' companion piece 'Untinted'. http://www.stonesthrow.com/news/shadesofblue/ The art director at Blue Note complimented this typeface when he noticed that it wasn't simple clean block letters. I do all of this artist Madlib's artwork (most of which is released on our own label Stones Throw) and I actually used Type No. 4 on several of his other records, as well as a whole bunch of the Type series on a reggae compilation/mix he did called 'Blunted In The Bomb Shelter'. [...] Keep up the great work!
