Author's note

Perdido by David F. Nalle is a free Western display font defined by broad slab forms broken by rough horizontal gouges. That repeated weathered striping gives the lettering a branded, trail-worn texture that feels closer to old saloon signage than to a plain distressed type style.

Posters, whiskey labels, rodeo flyers, storefront graphics, and themed event titles all make sense here, especially when short lines need that scraped, frontier look. The cut-through wear keeps the font from feeling static, so it can also sharpen game graphics or book covers tied to Western settings and pulp adventure.
