Meet COWBELL, a playful, hand-crafted decorative display font inspired by the distinctive markings of Holstein cows, spotted horses, vintage Western wood type and the charm of old-fashioned country ephemera.
Bold, nostalgic and full of personality, COWBELL brings together chunky, old-school lettering with irregular cowhide markings, creating a wonderfully playful typeface with a little 1970s country charm.
Inspired by vintage rodeo posters, honky-tonk dance halls, country music merchandise, ranch souvenirs and all things cowboy and cowgirl, COWBELL is made for having a little fun with typography.
Two alphabets, one playful font!
COWBELL features two matching sets of letterforms designed to be used individually or layered together to create your own colourful cow-print typography.
The uppercase A–Z contains bold, solid block letters, while the lowercase a–z features the same uppercase-style letterforms filled with irregular cowhide markings.
Simply type your word using uppercase letters, duplicate the text, change the duplicate to lowercase, and layer the two together in different colours to create your own two-tone designs!
Use the solid alphabet on its own for classic vintage Western lettering, the patterned alphabet for a playful cow-print effect, or combine both to experiment with colour and pattern.
Perfect for country music merchandise, rodeo posters, Western-inspired branding, T-shirts, vintage packaging, playful stationery and anything that needs a little country character.

PLEASE NOTE
COWBELL is an experimental decorative display font designed for headlines, names, short phrases and creative typographic compositions rather than body text.
The lowercase keys contain decorative uppercase-style letters rather than traditional lowercase characters.
To create two-colour lettering: Type your word in uppercase, duplicate the text, change the duplicate to lowercase and apply different colours to each layer. Align the two text layers to create your own cowhide-inspired combinations.
COWBELL includes letters only (A–Z and a–z). Numbers, punctuation and additional symbols are not included.
The print textures, colours, backgrounds and styling shown in the preview images are not included in the font download.
Accessing Decorative Alternates: To use the a-z letter variations, you'll need design software that supports accessing OpenType alternate glyphs, such as Adobe Illustrator, InDesign or Photoshop. Please check that your software allows you to select alternate characters before purchasing.
