Cowhide
typeface concept
In a genre dominated by toothy saloon-style fonts, Cowhide is a western slab-serif typeface created to mimic the style and structure of cattle branding irons.
Cowhide is inspired by my childhood home, a log house out in the country saturated with western cowboy charm from floor to ceiling. I called in a pro – my dad – for help smithing a branding iron of my own based on Cowhide’s S character.
