Cowboy Caxton

by Manfred Klein · Website

Cowboy Caxton is a heavy blackletter from Manfred Klein that does something unexpected: it crosses the density and darkness of Gothic letterforms with a rough, Western-frontier sensibility. The strokes are bold and angular, carrying the weight of traditional medieval textures but with a looseness that feels more saloon than scriptorium. Best used at display sizes for headlines, posters, or branding where you want something that reads as both ancient and a little lawless.
