: Where can I find rodeo-inspired fonts like the one in the sample? What font type is used for this logo?

@Holmes874

As Yisela points out, 'Western' is a common term to describe the style. Specifically, these are typefaces based on display type made from wood (wood type)--which was common in the US and has become part of the American west iconography. Another common association was with Circus posters. Searching for 'wood type', 'western', or 'circus poster' will likely return many results at sites like myfonts.com.

Another term to describe this particular type of style is Tuscan. Broadly speaking, it was a style of overly decorated stems and flares that was common during the wood type hey-days of the late 1800s.

A lot of wood type has been digitized. So many of the faces you'll see in different forms from different foundries.

I couldn't find an exact match, but this one is close in that is uses the rounded, flared ends:

Hessian

FYI, if authenticity is the goal, note that you'd rarely see this type set in an arch as it is in the sample above (or below). Wood type was meant to be locked up in lines and setting in an arch, while doable, would be a pain for the typesetter.

I would call them 'Western' fonts.

Not sure how close of a match you need, but there is a free one you can find on DaFont called Rio Grande:



And here are some Western inspired fonts on MyFonts.

For example Buffalo Circus:
