Stencil Baru 3 is a regular weight, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'DIN Next', 'DIN Next Arabic', 'DIN Next Cyrillic', 'DIN Next Devanagari', 'DIN Next Paneuropean', 'DIN Next Rounded', and 'DIN Next Stencil' by Monotype and 'Pulse JP' and 'Pulse JP Arabic' by jpFonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A rounded, geometric sans with consistent stroke thickness and a clearly segmented stencil construction. Letterforms are built from softly squared terminals and deliberate breaks that create evenly spaced bridges, producing a modular, engineered rhythm. Curves (C, G, O, Q, S) are drawn with smooth arcs but interrupted with clean gaps; straights (E, F, H, I, L, T) use uniform bars with rounded ends. Uppercase and lowercase share the same monoline logic, with simplified, open counters and minimal contrast, yielding crisp silhouettes even with the internal cutouts.
Works best for display settings where the stencil pattern can be appreciated—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding-style signage. It can also suit UI labels or section headers in tech-themed layouts, provided sizes are large enough that the stencil gaps remain clear.
The stencil breaks and rounded mechanics give the font an industrial, equipment-label feel while still reading as contemporary and slightly playful. It suggests technology, fabrication, and wayfinding—precise and functional, but not severe due to the softened corners and consistent stroke weight.
The design appears intended to merge a classic stencil idea with a modern rounded-geometric skeleton, prioritizing a clean, manufactured look and a recognizable texture in running text. The consistent bridging and softened terminals suggest an aim for both visual distinctiveness and practical legibility in bold, utilitarian applications.
Several glyphs lean toward single-storey, simplified constructions (notably in the lowercase), and the numerals echo the same segmented, rounded geometry. The cut points appear intentionally consistent across the set, helping maintain texture in text lines while adding a distinctive, perforated pattern.
