Author's note

Showguide is a free western display font with the chunky, poster-made swagger of old fairgrounds and frontier signage. The letters feel tall and weighty, with squared ends, deep notches, and a slightly uneven rhythm that gives the font its hand-cut, old-school showbill character.

It fits naturally on rodeo posters, bar labels, festival flyers, storefront signs, and album covers, where that broad, carved silhouette can carry a short line with authority. As a free font, Showguide is especially useful for title cards, pull quotes, and short branding words that want a vintage Western voice without turning ornate.
