Stencil Esga 3 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Festivo Letters' by Ahmet Altun, 'Cream Opera' by Factory738, 'Miguel De Northern' by Graphicxell, and 'Merchanto' by Type Juice (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, all-caps–friendly sans with heavy, uniform strokes and vertically oriented proportions. The defining feature is its consistent stencil construction: deliberate breaks and bridges appear through bowls, counters, and joins, creating clear cutouts that stay readable even at large sizes. Curves are pared back into sturdy, geometric forms, while terminals are mostly flat and squared, giving the letters a rigid, machined feel. Spacing and rhythm favor compact width and strong verticals, producing a tight, poster-like texture in words and lines.
Works best for headlines, posters, and short phrases where the stencil detailing can be appreciated. It suits signage-style applications, packaging, and identity marks that need a tough, utilitarian voice and strong presence at display sizes.
The stencil interruptions and rigid geometry evoke labeling, equipment markings, and utilitarian signage. Overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a slightly vintage industrial edge that reads as functional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact stencil look that stays visually consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Its systematic bridges and uniform stroke weight suggest an emphasis on functional, template-like lettering for bold display use.
Lowercase follows the same structural logic as the uppercase, keeping the same bridge placements and heavy strokes, which makes mixed-case settings feel cohesive and emphatic. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and construction, maintaining the same punchy, cutout silhouette.
