Stencil Elly 3 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Seconda Soft' by Durotype, 'Noah' by Fontfabric, 'Acherus Grotesque' and 'Acherus Militant' by Horizon Type, and 'Glendale' by Sarid Ezra (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with pronounced stencil breaks that consistently split bowls and counters with straight vertical bridges. Forms are built from broad, even strokes with low contrast and softened, rounded corners, giving the letters a machined, cut-out feel rather than sharp-edged brutality. The uppercase reads compact and uniform, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, simplified structure; numerals follow the same solid construction with clear internal cuts. Overall rhythm is bold and steady, with generous internal mass and minimal detailing.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence and fast recognition matter—posters, titles, labels, and bold brand marks. It can work for short blocks of large text in themed layouts, especially when an industrial or manufactured aesthetic is desired, but the stencil breaks make it less ideal for small sizes or dense body copy.
The stencil construction and dense silhouettes evoke industrial marking, equipment labeling, and practical signage. Its tone is firm and no-nonsense, with a modern, tactical edge that feels engineered and durable rather than decorative.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a consistent stencil system, balancing rugged utility with clean, geometric structure. The rounded corners and even stroke weight suggest an intention to feel modern and fabricated—like lettering produced by cutting, stamping, or marking tools.
The vertical stencil gaps become a defining visual motif across many characters, creating strong repetition and a distinctive striped interruption in rounded shapes. In longer text, these breaks add texture and a technical cadence, while the rounded terminals keep the heaviness from feeling overly aggressive.
