I spent the week watching 60's movie title sequences… something must have rubbed off. Thanks to Soma FM for the name.

Awesome! I love these western fonts but suck at making them. Love the swashes. A fun font. 10/10

Nice one! I remember doing my font Rap My Hip-Hop, which also has a bit of a western look, and it was also hard to make and name :)

Nice work, those swashes work well. g is my favorite glyph though, love the way you've squeezed it into the space. Beautiful sample too! 10/10

After making the specimen, I realized that I wanted non-swash alternates of the caps that only had “true” LC companions. This makes it much easier for “locking up”/justifying words in some cases. Here are the character positions for those alternates:

A/asterisk, H/plus, K/left arrow, Q/equals, R/right arrow

I also added some other helpful glyphs (%, @, -) and made minor modifications to others (like correcting the direction of the ear on g).
