Stencil Gyha 3 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, 'Merchanto' by Type Juice, 'Militarist' by Vozzy, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, block-based display face built from heavy verticals and angular, chamfered corners. Stencil breaks are integrated as clean bridges and gaps, producing a segmented rhythm through bowls and stems while keeping counters relatively open for the style. Curves are minimized in favor of faceted geometry, and terminals are hard and square, giving the letters a machined, cut-out look. The overall texture is dense and even, with strong vertical emphasis and sturdy proportions that read best at larger sizes.
Well-suited to bold headlines on posters, album art, and event graphics where a tough, engineered voice is desired. It also fits packaging, badges, and signage-inspired layouts, especially in themes involving industry, machinery, tactics, or dystopian/retro settings. Because the stencil gaps and condensed width create a busy texture, it’s strongest in short bursts rather than long body copy.
The font projects a utilitarian, no-nonsense tone with strong industrial and military associations. Its cut-metal stencil character and strict geometry suggest labels, equipment markings, and tactical signage, while the condensed build adds urgency and impact.
The design appears intended to emulate cut-out stencil lettering with a modern, geometric construction, maximizing impact and recognizability through heavy strokes, narrow proportions, and deliberate internal breaks.
Lowercase forms largely echo the uppercase’s constructed style, reinforcing a consistent, modular system across the set. Numerals follow the same faceted, segmented logic, and the stencil gaps are prominent enough to be a defining graphic feature rather than a subtle detail.
