The most widely used typeface on wanted posters and perhaps most recognisable is 'claredon', actually an english typeface developed in 1845.
Claredon has been re-worked by HFJ and renamed Sentinel. Its recommend partners are, Knockout, Ziggurat, Chronicle text, and also Gotham. Knockout is the one that most suits the wanted poster/western design so I will be using that. And for any numbers i will also be using Numbers Delancy, that is a based on hand painted apartment numbering from the apartments in New York and suits the mood really well.
