DeLouisville

DeLouisville font by James Arboghast - S E N T I N E L T Y P E is a free retro western display typeface with a wonderfully eccentric twist. Ultra-narrow letters march in a tight line, topped with looping arches and anchored by chunky, spurred slabs that feel like ornate ironwork on an old saloon sign. The rhythm is almost musical—tall, even strokes, firm spacing, and little curls that catch the eye without turning the word into a circus.

Using DeLouisville, headlines feel like they’ve come off a hand-painted storefront or vintage rodeo poster. This free font shines on logos, badge designs, liquor or coffee packaging, band artwork, event posters, and theatrical titles that need a distinctive western flair. Set it large to let the quirky curves breathe, and pair it with a simple grotesque or geometric sans for body copy to keep the ornate character work front and center.
