Stencil is a bold, industrial display typeface characterized by its distinctive letter breaks and connecting bridges that define the stencil aesthetic. Originally designed for practical applications where letters needed physical support structure, this design features heavy stroke weight, simplified letterforms, and strategic gaps that maintain legibility while creating a distinctive mechanical rhythm. The typeface exhibits uniform stroke width, squared-off terminals, and condensed proportions that maximize impact in large sizes. Its utilitarian origins give it an authentic military or industrial character that has made it popular for applications requiring authority and bold presence.
