Stencil in Use - A Collection of Stencil Typefaces

Known for their bold impressions characterized by strategic bars and openings, stencil fonts are more than just fonts seen on spray-painted shipping crates, military-inspired paraphernalia or street art. Instead, they are an expressive type family that emphasize spacing, size, and arrangement to create impactful and dynamic text elements, often with a focus on geometric precision to convey a sense of strength and contemporaneity.

A continuation of the Sans/Sans Serif in Use collection, this edition features a curated selection of stencil type specimens, their design applications, and the thoughts that go behind the craft. Stencil in Use collates the best typefaces for big canvases and serves as a reference point for inspiration-seeking designers and typographers alike.
