"Western" typestyles and no mention of Playbill??

Thanks, Pat. We rented that documentary, "Helvetica" a few years ago. It made the point that we are influenced by styles more than you'd think.

Agree with you on that, David. Most every western writing I've ever seen, had Playbill, or some derivation of it.
