Abby, that background info is fascinating. I had no idea. There is something compelling about unabashed ostentatiousness, perhaps because, looking at those old posters, they so clearly delineate a time period and a slew of connotations. There's something comforting about that. I love that Bonanza poster, Shannon. I decided to search "western" on dafont (I know, pretty janky) and the results show just how wide the range of Western fonts can be. What other groups of typefaces are so clearly associated with US geography and/or time periods? Is Deco a quintessential 1920s New York typeface? What's a 1970s Pacific Northwest typeface?
