Stencil Efry 7 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Dexa Pro' by Artegra, 'Anantason Mon' and 'Anantason Reno' by Jipatype, 'Trade Gothic Next' and 'Trade Gothic Next Soft Rounded' by Linotype, and 'Aaux Next Cond' by Positype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded stencil sans with soft corners and broad, low-contrast strokes. The glyphs are built from compact, mostly monoline shapes that are interrupted by frequent stencil bridges, producing punched openings and split counters (notably in C, O, S, and numerals). Curves are generous and somewhat oval, terminals are blunt, and joins favor simple geometry over calligraphic modulation. Spacing and forms feel intentionally irregular in places, creating a slightly inked, stamped rhythm rather than a strictly engineered one.
Best suited to display settings where the stencil construction is a feature: posters, bold headlines, product packaging, signage, decals, and branded graphics with an industrial or military flavor. It can work for short text blocks when large enough for the bridges and counters to stay clear.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a clear association to marking systems, equipment labels, and rugged signage. The rounded stencil cuts keep it from feeling harsh, adding a retro, poster-like friendliness while maintaining an industrial edge.
The design appears intended to mimic stenciled or spray-mask lettering with rounded, friendly proportions, balancing practical marking aesthetics with a bold, graphic presence for contemporary display use.
Distinctive internal breaks and split counters remain visible even at smaller sizes, giving strong texture in lines of text. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, sign-painting simplicity, while figures and capitals read especially well as attention-grabbing display elements.
