Bleeding Cowboys

by Segments Design (aka Last Soundtrack) · Website

Bleeding Cowboys is a heavily distressed decorative face from Segments Design that mashes together Wild West typography with dark, grungy ornamentation. The letterforms are weathered and cracked, draped in swirling flourishes and splatter details that give it an unmistakably gothic-western personality. It became wildly popular in the late 2000s, showing up on everything from band flyers to bar signage, and it still works best at large sizes for posters and headlines where its dense, textured detail can read clearly.
