Giddyup and Giddyup Thangs

Laurie designed Giddyup® and Giddup Thangs® while she was an art director at Adobe Systems. Rope letters decorating cattle brands and cowboy blankets were the inspiration for the typeface. The idea was to make each letter with one line that overlaps like a rope, rather than two strokes joined together. She based the ornaments, Giddyup Thangs, on icons of the old west.

Both fonts are available from Adobe Systems and typesellers around the world.
