Stencil Fiba 6 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Acumin' by Adobe, 'Fuller Sans DT' by DTP Types, 'Mercado' by MADType, 'LFT Etica' by TypeTogether, and 'Paul Grotesk Stencil' by artill (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with squared proportions and consistent stroke thickness. The defining feature is a systematic stencil treatment: repeated vertical cut-ins and bridges split bowls and stems, creating clear gaps that read as intentional construction joints. Curves are simplified and geometric, with tight counters and compact joins that give the letters a dense, sign-like silhouette. Numerals follow the same logic, with prominent breaks through rounded forms (notably 0, 8, and 9) and sturdy, straight-sided figures overall.
Best suited to display use where the stencil construction is a feature: posters, bold headings, packaging callouts, and industrial-themed branding. It can work for signage and wayfinding at larger sizes where the breaks remain clear, and for labels or UI accents that benefit from a robust, engineered look.
The overall tone feels industrial and no-nonsense, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and functional wayfinding. The stencil breaks add a manufactured, fabricated character that reads as tough, practical, and slightly militaristic without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, utilitarian voice while retaining a clean, repeatable stencil system for consistent application across letters and numbers. It prioritizes impact and a fabricated aesthetic, producing a distinctive texture that signals durability and function.
The cut patterns are relatively uniform across the set, giving the font a coherent rhythm even in longer text. In paragraphs, the repeated vertical gaps create a distinctive texture—especially through round letters—so spacing and size will strongly influence legibility and the perceived density.
