Author's note

RSPlaybill, is a free Western display font with the lanky swagger of old playbills and frontier signage. The letters look tall and tightly drawn, with sharp slabbed accents and a slightly theatrical stiffness that gives the font a proper 19th-century poster voice.

It fits best where a headline needs that show-poster flavor - on saloon-style branding, theater flyers, festival posters, whiskey labels, and title cards. As a free font, it also works well for chapter openers or drop caps, because the narrow, upright letters carry plenty of period character without needing much space.
