Yes, I like it very much. Great demo picture. I would have done a few glyphs differently (S,Z,2,$), but that doesn't necessarily means they are bad. On the contrary. they add some pizzaz to the font. 10/10

That W is Western personified!

@Frodo7, @thalamic: Thank you masters. It was a challenge (Frodo7 knows), and I hope the results can be good for you.

You have a great eye for details. Very good.

Only a tiny thing: I'm not so sure about the diagonal in the S. It somehow breaks the rhythm in your sample words. But then, I could not come up with a better solution I guess.

Thanks, laynecom. I tried other solutions, but this was the one I liked. I accept any suggestion about it.

Totally deserved TP! I forgot to mention it, but my font "Tramcar Typo" was actually inspired from your s,z :) Thanks for that!

Nice! We don't see much western-style fonts around FS. 10/10

Thanks winty5! The iconography of the Western style is very close to me, although it seems hard to believe: I live in the only European subdesert and here in my land were filmed some of the best western movies, like those mythical Sergio Leone's spaghetti-western with the great Clint Eastwood (do you remember "The good, the bad and the ugly" or "a Fistful of Dollars" or "For a Few Dollars More", e.g.?).
